XBMC Live + External HDD - brokntrigun - 2010-01-12
Hey Everyone,
I recently got an asrock 330 ion ht, running xbmc live on it. i have gotten everything working thanks to many of you with your helpful posts on these here forums.
My problem is, I dont have write access to the attached USB HDD. I have looked high and low on linux forums for the proper chmod command to do it, as chmod 777 -R doesnt get the job done. I set permissions on my Mac to allow rw to everyone, but i still cannot write to it.
i have even edited my fstab:
Quote:/dev/sda2 /media/More Powerrr hfsplus umask=000 0 0to no avail.
is it possible to get r/w access to an external hdd in xbmc, and so that it is r/w all the time?
thanks.

since hfs is an evil undocumented fs, the brave hackers have only been able to RE read support + write support IF you disable journaling.
