The permissions and user/group ids are stored on the ext2 partition. As always ;-) The fact that the ount point has one set of those before, and another after mount can be a bit confusing. To clarify : After mount, the root of the filesytem on /dev/hda1 becomes /home/storage/store. The original /home/storage/store directory is hidden until hda1 is umounted.

I have an ext2 partition at /dev/hda1 and want to mount it at /home/storage/store. The /etc/fstab record I use is as follows: /dev/hda1 /home/storage/store ext2 defaults 0 4 Before I mount it, the command "ls -al /home/storage" yields: drwxr-xr-x 2 storage storage 4096 2007-09-19 17:42 store Which is of course empty. After the mount, which is successfull, the command "ls -al /home/storage" yields: drwxrwsr-x 10 505 505 4096 2007-09-21 16:03 store It seems that system assigns the directory hierarchy under 'store' to an unknown user/groupid, for security purposes I suppose. But I want it to assign it to user 'storage' & group 'storage' How can I do that? Although it seems a very basic administrative task, I haven't found a way to do it. I would greatly appreciate any help Antonis Tsakiridis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
