How to mount another hard partition

Asked by Daniel Carrier

How to mount another hard partition, I tried with disk utility and the mount function is not available. I try to mount an old Ubuntu 10.4 partition that is on the same hard drive. I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 and I would like to access the old data. I can see the partition with disk utility but there is not mount volume function function, only the Unmount volume. I did a check filesystem function and it says: "Device is mounted and no online capability in fsck tool for file system"

Thanks for help.

The owner (user) should have access to mountpoint.
e.g.
lets say the UUID is 4140dca6-fb8d-48b8-a427-c00093cb684a mounted under /media.
You could run Nautilus with temporary elevated permission:
gksudo nautilus

navigate to /media/<UUID> and give permissions to current user.
Or in a terminal:
sudo chown -R <username:groupname> /media/<mountpoint_uuid>

## Usually username and groupname are identical.
