Does anyone know the command line syntax to make a usb drive read/write on the Helix 2 live boot? The command used on the original Helix doesn't work on Helix 2 for me. oops
Thanks!
Open a root terminal and use the Linux 'mount' command to mount it wherever you like. I'm not sure if the preference in Helix is for the /media mount points or /mnt, but it really doesn't matter, if the mount point you want doesn't exist you can just create it.
It may be that the syntax you have from the original Helix refers to a mount point that now doesn't exist.
For more information, just Google 'Linux mount command' and surf away

if you are trying to make a USB drive RW, then this command should work
sudo mount -o rw,umask=000 /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1

Thanks a bunch for the responses. When I get back to that issue I'll be sure to post my results/solution.

You know there _is_ a forum dedicated to Helix - you may find your answer before even asking if you research there.

After mounting your USB device as read/write you will see an icon for it appear on your Desktop. However, using the GUI to add or delete files to this volume will not be allowed presumably because the GUI uses an account that is limited in permissions. Using the 'root' terminal console to move or copy files to the volume works as you would expect. This 'safety feature' caused me to have a slight head scratching session recently!

The Helix forums are often less active, and less useful, than Forensics Focus and the CCE mailing list. I get better information about Helix here.

Hi David,
Really? That's odd. You would think the Helix forums would be the place to ask Helix questions. Who better to answer the questions than the developers and maintainers, right?
Cheers!

I tired to register at least twice on the Helix forums. Never received an activation email.
Support doesn't seem too high on their list of priorities!
I joined a few years ago with no problem. I had heard that Drew had some family issues(funeral) and was busy with his "paying" job. I suggest being patient and send him an email. I think he frequents this board.
