Manual mount external drives in target disk mode
Authored by: rhowell on Jul 19, '05 09:47:25AM

The system is ignoring permissions of files on the drive, or its ignoring ownership of files on the drive?

Manual mount external drives in target disk mode
Authored by: jesboat on Jul 20, '05 12:59:40AM

It's was ignoring permissions. (If you think about it though, ownership doesn't matter much without permissions, so, it was essentially ignoring both.) You'd think that the update would still be able to set permissions on the files it was installing (even though they wouldn't take effect until the drive was unmounted from target disk mode), but, apparently, it can't.
