NOOBS 512MB Data Partition Permissions Denied

Mon Dec 28, 2015 10:39 pm

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B with NOOBS installed. I have Raspbian and OSMC installed. Along with those 2 OSes, I selected the option for the empty 512mb data partition to store extra files. However, when I try to paste some files in the this partition, Raspbian gives me a"Permission Denied" message. I want to know how to get permissions to this partition. Thanks!

Your user id and the partition owner is different. You can change it with this command.

Code: Select all

sudo chown `id -u` /path_to_partition
or

Code: Select all

sudo chown my_user_name /path_to_partition
-- Raymond
