![]() "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" is selected Within the permissions tab, I am listed as the owner, who can read and write to them. and when I did last night, I found that I no longer had permission to write to any of the hard drives I owned. I hadn't plugged in any of my external drives for a while. **ok, this is weird - I just went to get disk info and where my account name should be coming up it says "Fetching."ĭon't have Permission to Write to my Own External Hard Drives So this is a fun one. The other strange thing about the disk is that it will not auto mount on reboot, I have to mount it through Disk Utility - that has been happening since day 1 and I assumed a High Sierra glitch, drive size issue, or APFS formatting quirk. ![]() I have been able to fix this in the past, I don't recall exactly how, I thought it might have been by repairing permissions, but I see that's not an option in either Disk Utility or Onyx which I also use, although rarely since I upgraded to High Sierra.Disk Utility, in the Info screen screen for the drive, says the disk is not writeable.Googling that sounded like it might be an issue, but not immediately major and not causing my write issues. First Aid says the disk is ok but gives a few warnings about object Unable to mark physical extent range allocated for space verification.Disk info says my account has permission to Read/Write to the drive.Lately Lightroom has been saying it can't open the catalog because it doesn't have permission to write to the disk, but: I use this as storage for photography and almost exclusively either copy files to it or access it with Lightroom. Hello, I have a Seagate external 4TB hard drive about a year old, APFS formatted as a single volume and I'm running a 20178 27" Retina 5K 3.5 GHz i5 processor 24GB RAM iMac and High Sierra 10.13.6
