Using Qubes OS 4.2.3 (R4.2) on a SSD in desktop computer with two sda hard drives installed for extra storage (sda, sdb). A while after installing the operating system, I needed to reformat the sda drive. I have been unable since then, to write to the sda drive, when I have attached sda to another vm (Personal) via the Qubes Devices widget in the Tray. I can see the drive present in Personal, but I have a permissions problem for read, write, execute.
This would have been a simple fix with chown or chmod, when I was using Linux Mint, but with the virtual vm’s and dom0, I’m presently stuck. My preferred useage is the gui method, although to a limited degree I can use the Terminal.
What I have done so far in the dom0 Terminal:
Began with - qvm-device DEVICE_CLASS –list-device-classes which gave me < block >
qvm-device block list which gave me <dom0:sda ST3000DM001-1CH166>
qvm-device dom0:sda info At this point I’ve come to a screeching halt and even then, I’m not sure, what I’m supposed to do, to make the write attribute transferrable to another vm.
