      @chrishamm Hey there, thanks for replying.
      I work with @semi55 in the team, so I'm replying on behalf of both of us.

      Our current image runs the desktop version with DuetPi installed. The desktop is logged in as "pi" but "dsf" is used in the background.

      I have unmounted the drive in question and ran the following commands to test this theory:

      1. sudo umount D2F1-AD5F
      2. sudo mount -o umask=777,gid=996,uid=996 /dev/sda1 /media/sd

      996 is the GID/UID of "dsf".

      We now get a different error where I don't know anymore what the answer to that would be:

      Thanks a lot in advance

        @peterwilli Does it help to reload DWC once it's mounted? What does

        http://duet3/machine/directory/2:/

        output when the drive is mounted? You may have to replace duet3 with the name or IP address of your printer.

          I wonder if it's a good idea to print from a hotplug device?

          Probably not, but many printers come with support for printing from USB port. SD cards are hotplug too if you pull hard enough.

            Hi there,

            With the link + mounting the drive manually for dsf we get the following error:

              @peterwilli That error code means that DWS cannot get the file list from the requested path (even though it should have returned an HTTP error instead; I'll fix that). You could start a shell with the dsf user by running sudo -u dsf bash and then check if you can enter the mount point of the USB drive and list the files there. I suspect it's a permission problem.

                @chrishamm Hi there

                dsf@raspberrypi:/home/pi$ cd /media/sd
bash: cd: /media/sd: Permission denied

                It indeed seems to break when trying to access the folder. I'm currently in the process of finding out what happened and how to fix this error.

                  Excuse me to revive this thread, but took a long break after really not being able to fix this in a reasonable amount of time without getting too crazy.

                  We finally solved it. The solution was:

                  • The desktop was automounting the SD card. I finally unmounted using umount /media/pi/D2F1-AD5F
                  • Then, I remounted using sudo mount -o rw,umask=0000 -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/sd.
                  • I also added dsf to the users group, but that may not be necessary.

                  The only thing that's left to do is making sure it still auto-mounts, but with the right permissions and configuration.

                    I have similar / same error but cant see a solution: I want to upload a gcode I have on my usb stick. I plug the USB into the raspi, and I cant see it on the DWC interface.
                    Im not skill on linux so, can anyobody lauch a hint on how to solve this?
                    My intention is only load gcode from the USB drive, not printing from it

                        Then why open it from DWC? Can you copy it on the Pi side?

                            @phaedrux It is a permissions problem because USB is mounted and I can see it on /media.
                            Permissions on /media are:

                            pi@PM8721-3:~ $ ls -all /media/
                            total 44

                            drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 28 17:04 usb3
                            drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 28 17:04 usb4
                            drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 28 17:04 usb5
                            drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 28 17:04 usb6
                            drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 28 17:04 usb7

                            The USB is mounted under /media/pi/

                            I change permisions on /media/pi folder to:

                            drwxrwxr-x+ 2 root root 4096 Jun 28 19:06 pi

                            Now I can see the contents of any USB I PLUG, but the interface cant do anything with it, because if I try to aluch a print from it, it says it has no roght.

                            How can I fix this foreever in order everytime the USB is mounted, the user and group of the USB folder is NOT root?

                              I'm only a rudimentary linux user as well. Will have to see what @chrishamm has to say.

                                @phaedrux is there any othrr way? It was working on 3.3, may be if we replicate permissions fron that version?
