Mounting an ext2 filesystem at mount point with specific uid, gid
Hello, I'm using debian 4.0r1. 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/storeext2 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.

But I want it to assign it to user 'storage' group 'storage' Who owns what is stored on the filesystem itself as user ids and group ids (numbers). The /etc/passwd and /etc/group files are, amongst other things, maps between user and group names and user and group ids. The reason you're just seeing numbers is because there are no passwd or group entries to map them into names. How can I do that? You can't with a mount option. You'd need to chown them to the user and/or group you want. This would modify the filesystem though. Alternatively you can use adduser and addgroup to create users and groups that map to those ids. Complications will arise if you already have such mappings in some form. Although it seems a very basic administrative task, I haven't found a way to do it. Mount options for what you're thinking of exist for some filesystems because they have no concept of ownerships themselves. ext2 does and so such options do not exist. -- To the extent that we overreact, we proffer the terrorists the greatest tribute. - High Court Judge Michael Kirby -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

RE: Mounting an ext2 filesystem at mount point with specific uid, gid
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.
