如何从外部硬盘驱动器上删除Linux上的文件权限？

Question

My macbook recently died and I am currently trying to figure out how to copy my data.

What I did was, I took out the hard drive, put it in an enclosure and plugged it in to my other laptop that runs linux.

The problem is, I cannot copy files from the hard drive due to file permissions. I tried to access the hard drive as root. But I still cannot copy files.

How do I remove file permissions from the harddrive?

Answer 1

To make the partition accessible under Linux run:

sudo chmod -R 777 /media/<drive-name>/ 

this should make the mac drive accessible for you.

Changing ownership would do about the same, but you need not worry about it.
