Thanks, this is explaining all my questions. I always thought wrong, that mounted devices and folders on it, get the ownership from the folder, it is mounted to. Yes, this is correct, but I was not aware, when I want to CHANGE it, I had to do it AFTER mount. My mistake, sorry. But more important: Lesson learnt! So, thank you all very much. This issue can safely be closed. Best regards Hans
