Accessing ext4 partitions in KDE version

[rsal]

I have the same problem with Salix14-KDE install. Ext4 partitions when selected in Dolphin are mounted with read-only access.
Can this be solved without any fstab entry?

See this thread for some background to this annoying problem:

If you don't want to use fstab (because you only want to mount the partition occasionally?) mount manually from the command line, as in tothandnail's post towards the end of the thread linked to above.

I never had problem mount everything on Salix14-KDE
my /etc/fstab

Code: Select all

/dev/sda9        swap             swap        defaults         0   0
/dev/sda7        /                ext4        noatime,defaults 1   1
devpts           /dev/pts         devpts      gid=5,mode=620   0   0
proc             /proc            proc        defaults         0   0
tmpfs            /dev/shm         tmpfs       defaults         0   0

There is no need to add anything in fstab. Dolphin will mount any device,ext4,ntfs,vfat etc, usb_stick or external usb hard drives, asking only once for root password.

Tell us more about your system. It is this ext4 partition checked for errors?
