Changing disk permissions form terminal

[slaz55]

I'd like to change the disk permission for 1 drive from terminal. As admin I would think there would be a way. Currently in terminal this is what comes up.


total 8
drwxr-xr-x 9 Morgan Morgan 408 Aug 17 21:30 Bob
drwxr-xr-x 49 Morgan Morgan 1768 Aug 19 08:18 George

drwxrwxr-t 30 Morgan Morgan 1054 Mar 7 22:16 Mac OS X Install DVD
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 1 Aug 17 21:04 Morgan -> /
d--------- 37 Morgan Morgan 1360 Aug 15 17:09 Morphous

Morphous is mounted but will not show up on the desktop.

Huh. It automounted with those permissions? Is it a non-OS X-native disk format?

The basic form of the permission command is this:

chmod 777 /Volumes/Morphous

This will change the permissions on the disk itself. Once you see it on the Desktop or in the Finder, you could manage permissions through the Finder's "Get Info" window.

billbaloney your the best! I did have to run disk utilities to repair the disk but after that it popped right. THANK YOU.
