Re: [arch-general] how to mount external hdd

You can, and mount(8)¹ is very exhaustive. Assuming your HD is formatted with some kind of MS filesystem (fat/ntfs) you can tweak the mount options to set the ownership of the files.

¹ In short: man mount Will definitely look over it. I would imagine that the external hdd is formated with vfat? Not sure though. I figured out what I needed to, now time to look into the deeper problem, ;-).
