Digikam and separate partition

[Rachel Phillips-2]

Hi,

I have all my photos on a separate local ext3 partition and I'd like Digikam
to use that directory.  However, when I try to choose that location, I get an
error saying that Digikam doesn't have write permissions for that location.  
What do I need to do to resolve the situation.  I've checked the folder and
my user is the owner/group for that folder, not root.  So I'm a little lost
as to what I need to do to fix this.

Again, I want to stress that this isn't a networked hard drive but rather a
local shared partition.

Thanks so much in advance!
Rachel

Rachel,

Here on my main computer, i use a huge secondary HDD (300Gb) to host all my pictures without problem.

The disk is mounted using a standard way. Nothing is require to use digiKam in this configuration.

Your problem is certainly in your computer settings...

Which linux box you use ? Can you give a copy of your /etc/fstab ?

Hello again,

I figured it out...several folders on that partition had had their permissions
changed to root without my realizing it.  I changed them back and it works
now!!!

Sorry to have bothered anyone...
