[PLUG] When {[right question] >= (useful answer)} ?

[wes]

All partitions are automatically readable/writable by all by default. One
would have to take extraordinary measures to restrict access to a partition.

In this case, the right question would be something similar to: "I tried
mounting partition c while booted into my Debian install on partition b and
got an error. Here's a copy of what I did and what happened:"

Then we can analyze both what you're trying to do and why it isn't working
in a single stroke. If the error is strange enough, we may have to ask you
to try some different things before we reach the ultimate source of the
problem. More likely, it will be a simple thing which we can answer quickly
and hopefully point to an explanation.
