permission problem with external hard drive

[Anonymous]

mt-daapd/Firefly Version: mt-daapd-0.2.4.1
Server Operating System: Xubuntu Gutsy
Server Hardware: Dell Latitude D620

I have my music on an external hard drive. This drive is auto-mounted by xubuntu with the permission drwx

---

so only root has rwx permissions. I believe that i need more permissions for mt-daapd to read my files, but I’m not sure what, any advice? I should mention that I don’t know how to change these mount permissions currently.

Thanks,
Eric

alright, fixed, I just had to figure out how to mount with the correct permissions

Just for completeness, I’ll post what I added to my /etc/fstab

# attempting for premissable ONE external harddrive
