Problem with usb disk

[RaimundD]

Hi,

I made a fresh install auf Maui 2 but have no a serious problem with my backup disk.

I have my backup data on an external usb drive but this is not recognized properly. Sometimes I get the info that I do not have the rights to open the drive. Sometimes the drive is not recognized at all.

How can I solve this issue?

Thanx

Have you rebooted your system since the last update?
If so, then this could be a permission problem with the group or user associated with the drive.

Hmm,

i thought so, but how should it be?

Currently my directory /media looks like this:
raimund@morpheus:/media$ ls -al
insgesamt 48
drwxr-xr-x  12 root    root    4096 Nov  6 19:12 .
drwxrwxr-x  24 raimund network 4096 Nov  6 21:22 ..
drwx------   4 raimund network 4096 Dez 19  2015 backup

drwxr-xr-x   2 root    root    4096 Nov  6 18:42 usb7


The drive should be accessable through /media/raimund/BackUp which looks very strange to me:

raimund@morpheus:/media/raimund/BackUp$ ls -al
ls: Zugriff auf 'backintime' nicht möglich: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler
insgesamt 24

d?????????? ? ?       ?           ?            ? backintime
drwx------  2 root    root    16384 Dez 18  2015 lost+found

OK, when you created that backintime backup was the user name and/or group the same as you have it now?
If not, then you'll need to change it to match your current user and/or group using sudo chmod or sudo chown.
You may need to repeat this proccess for other files and/or folders on that drive as well.
