[SOLVED] USB drive mount with root as owner, cannot be used

[Sehnsucht]

Hello,

I re-installed moode again on my raspi, and now my moode player work (with the same ntfs partition on the same usb drive).

So it seems that the issue I met was not caused by the usb drive and the ntfs partition. Probably some corrupted database or OS (after a hard shutdown ?).

I have had such an issue (non responsive moode system that cannot read music anymore) from time to time, about every year… and I end up with re-installation. And it is a pain… (I never could pre-set wifi network so I have to enter access point mode first. And I never could restore a moode backup, neither settings nor radio, camilla DSP settings and files… so I have to setup the whole thing).

An alternative way of backing up your system would be to simply use dd (for example) to make a copy of the whole SD card.   I do this as I don't have much success with moOde backups either!
