Re: [Avid-L2] write permissions for Avid media drive

Hi Steve,

Also worth checking out - when you set up the partition as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" - did you also click the 'options' button and change the formatting of the drive from Master Boot Record to GUID?

I know that _shouldn't_ make a difference - but I've seen it cause some issues here. (just not on the macs)

I bought a couple of new 2TB USB3 drives and used Disk Utility to erase them from the MS-DOS FAT format to Extended Journaled MAC formatting.

I can see the drive. I can write stuff to the drive with any other program. I transferred a bunch of Sony F55 footage to the drive, and I can SEE that footage AMA in Avid, but Avid doesn't recognize that same drive as one that it can write to.

Any ideas?

I did a Get Info on the drive and there are read and wrote permissions for all users on the drive, but Avid's dialog when launching MC is "Check write permissions" because there's no drive to use for media.

Is there some other place to assign permissions other than command-I on the drive?
