IIRC, you had a little trouble setting up the DATA partition - or whatever was used.
You may want to include that link, or at least the part indicating what you did.

Also, IIRC, I would not have done it the way that you did, BUT that's mostly because I really only know my method.

IIRC, CB bailed me out.

Good Luck

"ls -la" should also provide this info, since it will include the . and .. directories in its output.

let me know how to do this please.

CharlesV wrote: Sat Jul 13, 2024 11:15 am that means you have no files in that folder / directory. In order to see your rights for that folder.. you need to be one folder above it and do this:

Code: Select all

ls -ld your_directory

ls is the list command.

- indicates the beginning of the command options.

l asks for a long list which includes the permissions.

d indicates that the list should concern the named directory itself; not its contents. If no directory name is given, the list output will pertain to the current directory.

ls -ld
drwx------ 24 siloff siloff 4096 jul 13 17:58 .

Have a look here at the permissions you should have for a folder / file.
