Yes, but not in the context of a sub-project from last few days.
I suspect what I aiming at might look like - the groups and
permission bits set at time partition created, thus avoiding games
with /etc/fstab .

↑ is there a purpose behind the missing w ?
Yes. My rational is in my rather verbose post
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/11/msg00361.html .
Linux evidently does not do things "my way" [apologies to a fast
food chain].
Should I take it that last sentence means you are aware root can write
over a file even if the permission is --------- , let alone r-------- ,
so you have no precaution as well as no protection.
Cheers,
David.
It was a description of what I wanted, not what I could get. I
suspect thinking in detail about "corner cases" is a good education.
