File Manager Directory Permission

[scottjsn]

I connected an external hard drive via a USB. It worked fine until I installed IBM Websphere Application Server 8.5. Now, when I click on a directory, it does not open the sub-directory. So I need to reset the permission to read/modify then it allows me again.

I just wonder how this could happen? How to avoid it and how can I correct it?

Hi
When you plug the device in, run the following command and post the
output;

mount
