Hello,

I am a newbie to Ubuntu and installed it with Windows 10 Dual Boot. I also have a second 1tb drive where I store all my Houdini projects. I managed to mount the second drive with read and write options and I can set use “set project” to a folder on that drive. The issue comes when I try to use the output node in a DOP network, after setting the project, the “$JOB” shortcut when browsing for folders disappears and in the area where the path is written, it shows “$JOB/cache/$OS” in red and says “Directory is inaccessible”.
Is there anything else that I have to do after mounting the second drive? I mount it to /mnt/sdb2.

Thanks
Vish

Hi,
I am pretty new to Ubuntu too but I guess it has to do with read/write permission.
Google for chmod
Will be something like sudo chmod 755 /media/mountname.

Cheers

Use blkid to find out the UUIDs and filesystems of the partition you want to mount. For example:
Mounting Partitions Automatically
Try command From terminal
blkid
/dev/sdb2: UUID="6AYO854PUJ8744" TYPE="ntfs"


Type mount in a terminal. You should see a line with your disk name on it lik
sudo nano /etc/fstab
# was on /dev/sdb2 during installation
UUID=6AYO854PUJ8744  /media/6AYO854PUJ8744  ntfs-3g  defaults,windows_names,locale=en_US.utf8  0 0

If Error mounting /dev/sdb2

sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb2
