[SOLVED BY MY BABYBOY] How do i own the directory that my disk is mounted on

[foggy rose]

It looks like a VFAT system, which does not support unix permission.

[void fulcrum]

that means ?

[foggy rose]

Means that you will have to specific the uid in the mount options

The same applies to file permissions, which are also set using umask.

[void fulcrum]

so what should i do

[foggy rose]

Isn't that obvious?

[foggy rose]

^

[void fulcrum]

okay i wil specific the uid thanks for the help

[foggy rose]

sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /path/to/mount/point -o rw,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id -g)

Please modify as appropriate

[void fulcrum]

is there anyway i can run this command without sudo

[foggy rose]

No

[void fulcrum]

i think it worked let me check

[void fulcrum]

how can i run this on start up

[foggy rose]

Mounting is a privilege

[foggy rose]

Do you use a deamon like udisks?

[void fulcrum]

yes

but when i use udisk it doesnt let me exec c++ code

and i have to use mount

[foggy rose]

You can then use either fstab or udisks configuration.

[void fulcrum]

do you think its unsafe if i put my password on a variable and run echo $PASS | mount ...

[foggy rose]

The configuration of udisks on Arch is documented at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Udisks.

[foggy rose]

Where would you specify the variable then? it's turtles all the way down.

[void fulcrum]

on terminal

read -s $PASSWORD

[foggy rose]

Firstly, mount does not accept password as a parameter
second, you need to be root to mount

[foggy rose]

If you wish to mount by proxy without sudo, use a proper authentication framework like polkit

[void fulcrum]

does it take long to set up

[foggy rose]

will probably take much less time than fiddling with non-standard, potentially insecure scripts.

[void fulcrum]

how do i use polkit

[foggy rose]

What is your ultimate goal?

[void fulcrum]

mount the disk automaticly when i open the pc

i use i3

[foggy rose]

Where?

[void fulcrum]

/home/zketra/mnt/main

/dev/sdc1

[foggy rose]

Then fstab should be optimal for this task

UUID=920D-F401 /home/zketra/mnt/main vfat rw,noatime,fmask=0033,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 2

[void fulcrum]

where do i write this

[foggy rose]

Append to /etc/fstab

[void fulcrum]

i dont have a fstab

directoruy

[foggy rose]

fstab ist nicht directoruy

It is a file

[void fulcrum]

ach so

[foggy rose]

Before you do anything, please read this page carefully to avoid potential catastrophe: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fstab

[void fulcrum]

do i have to put the thing with M

[foggy rose]

Pardon my lack of courtesy, that's ridiculous.

[void fulcrum]

i havent changed anything

only added what you sent me

[foggy rose]

Unix uses 0xA for a newline character. Windows uses a combination of two characters: 0xD 0xA. 0xD is the carriage return character. ^M happens to be the way vim displays 0xD (0x0D = 13, M is the 13th letter in the English alphabet).

[void fulcrum]

so should i add it or not

[foggy rose]

NO

[void fulcrum]

okay baby

so im saving the file

[foggy rose]

You can save the file and execute the following command to test

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo mount /dev/sdc1

However, you must first unmount any existing mount points from /dev/sdc1.

Or the mount options won't apply

[void fulcrum]

alr it worksss

does it run everytime i open the pc

or do i have to mount it every time

[foggy rose]

Mounting entris on fstab is automatic.

[void fulcrum]

so it mounts everytime i open my pc

[foggy rose]

Yes.

[void fulcrum]

okay babyboy

thank you for your delicious help

[foggy rose]

I see you're a C++ fellow as well, I happened to come across this question, which is why std::enable_if_t<std::is_function<F>::value, bool> = true doesn't work with lambda.
Do you happened to know an answer?

[void fulcrum]

lemme see

[void fulcrum]

doesnt lambda return the both answer at same time like v

i mean the and conditions

what is at the other end

[foggy rose]

Ah, have a look at this neuralyser device.
Have a nice day.

[void fulcrum]

have a nice day
