Permission denied on Raspberry Pi and external HDD

[dikey94]

Hello everyone

I'm trying to setup Deluge on my Raspberry Pi. I'm using external HDD. I've configured 2 services:
- deluged
- deluge-web
as described here: https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Use ... ce/systemd

I have 2 partitions on the hdd - NTFS one EXT4 one. I'd like to use the EXT4 partition.

I've created a directory with 777 chmod. The deluged service has Umask set as 000.

Unfortunately, I get permission denied and deluge can't write anything on that disk.

I'd appreciate any help.
Cheers.

Hi,

Mount your drive, try to write with your logon user on the disk (a new folder on the root for example)
Do the same with the user of the service (sudo -u $your_user).What's the result?

Hi,
thanks for the reply.

Here we go:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:/media/pi $ ls -la

I can't create a directory as a loggon user.


Here is also deluges.service content:

Code: Select all

[Unit]

Documentation=man:deluged
After=network-online.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=deluge
Group=deluge

You seems to have no right for the user "pi" on this drive except execute. The chmod 777 is possible but needs to be done recursively (-R)and with sudo.
It all depends about what you want to do but guessing you want to use the disk for Deluge and be able to read its content with the user pi, a simple way will be adding the user "pi" to the group "deluge"

You can run the service as pi user too but I like to keep such thing splited

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd /media/pi/
pi@raspberrypi:/media/pi $ sudo chmod 777 -R bfa2255e-2187-40d9-ad93-f6bcdda80d7a/
pi@raspberrypi:/media/pi $ sudo usermod -a -G deluge pi
pi@raspberrypi:/media/pi $ sudo service deluged stop
pi@raspberrypi:/media/pi $ sudo service deluged start

And... not working.

Status: Brak dostępu: /media/pi/bfa2255e-2187-40d9-ad93-f6bcdda80d7a/bigbeninteractiveOutcast-7693-DRMFREE.zip

which means Permissions denied: /media/pi/bfa2255e-2187-40d9-ad93-f6bcdda80d7a/bigbeninteractiveOutcast-7693-DRMFREE.zip

May you try to apply the chmod on the mount point /media/pi/ ?

[dikey94]

pi@raspberrypi:/media $ sudo chmod -R 777 pi/
pi@raspberrypi:/media $ sudo service deluged restart

Works.
