I have 2 partitions on a 120 gig drive. The 1st partition is the OS, apps etc and the 2nd is for storage. i just did the latest security update & lost write access to the 2nd partition or at least the root of the drive. I have written to various folders but not to the root lately so I'm not sure how long this has been a prob or if the security update had anything to do with it.
The Owner of the OS drive is "system" and I have read/write access
I changed the owner of the 2nd drive from system to my user name and I have write access again. I'm not sure what it was before. If I change it to system to match the other drive, I lose write access again.
What's the proper setting for default drive ownership?? I just want to set it back to whatever the default was...
TIA
Jeff

If I change it back to system:
You can: read only
Owner: system
Access: read & write
Group: admin
Access: Read only
Others: read only
How can I repair??

Look at the group permissions.
