Permissions EXT4 drive, XBMC cannot access folders - zilexa - 14th Nov, 2013 12:16 AM
I have a new harddisk, formatted as EXT4. I transferred all my media from an NTFS drive to the EXT4 drive using Ubuntu from an USB stick on my Macbook.
I used rsync command from a Terminal logged in as root on Ubuntu, copying 2 folders: Movies and TV Shows. All other folders (Pictures, Music) were already present on the harddisk.
The problem: in XBMC, I cannot open the two folders Movies and TV Shows. I tried various chmod commands:
sudo chown -R xbian:xbian /media/usb0
sudo find /media/usb0 -type d -exec chmod 755 {} +
sudo find /media/usb0 -type f -exec chmod 644 {} +
No errors but nothing changed. I want to be able to read and also delete files from within XBMC.. just like I used to on my old ext4 drive.. I Googled other commands but I don't understand why nothing changes?

post actual mount options (currently effective as displayed by 'mount').

Are you on Beta 1.1? Is dbus running?
Can you actually navigate to the folders?
I have a feeling the USB drive is not actually mounted.
As a precursor, can you post the output of dmesg.

Sorry I should have supplied more details:
RPi 512MB, Beta 2. I can access the other folders. Just not the two I copied via Ubuntu as root. I cannot navigate them.

@zilexa
can you provide ssh access for few minutes via port forward or something?
I'm sure we are missing there some stupid fact … Ubuntu mounted the ext disk with NO ACL or no owners and the freshly created folders will be a bit different then but I have already total mixup with Macosx uids and security flags and linux …
if I could touch it for a minute.
