A better system for removable media would be for the root folder owner be changed to that of the console user, as it appears to happen with vfat mounts. That way, the media could be truly portable with minimum fuss. Actually, that leads me to my solution! Just do chmod 777 on the thumb drive's root folder and it all behaves the way I want. Anybody can create files or folders on the device, and read/write permissions are sensibly handled.

The owner/group settings are the number, not the name, of the user/group. You may want to use chown alan:alan /media/Devel instead of chown alan /media/disk. This will set both the owner and group of the disk. In this case, I would not use the -R option - I do not know what the affect of changing the ownership of /media/Devel/lost+found would be. You also have the option of creating a directory on the USB drive owned by alan. That way, you could have storage for more then one user on the drive.

Re: USB stick with ext2?
Original Message Subject: Re: USB stick with ext2? From: Bryn M. Reeves To: Community assistance, encouragement, and advice for using Fedora. Date: 01/06/2009 06:12 AM No - ext2/3/4's root inodes are just regular directories and can be owned by any user as Ed already mentioned. I set most of my removable media to be owned by my normal UID/GID for exactly this reason (they can also be labelled with xattrs for e.g. SELinux if required). That's what happens when there's 50 different filesystems. I guess I need to brush up on my man mount knowledge. I don't use ext2/3/4 for any drive or media I own nor at work. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

AFAIK, you still can't do that with ext2/3/4 - they do not support a uid=/gid= mount option like vfat that would allow you to change ownership of the entire file system at mount time.

The ownership information is maintained in the ext2 structure. So, the next time it is mounted it will retain ownership by alan. -- Not SENSUOUS ... only "FROLICSOME" ... and in need of DENTAL WORK ... in PAIN!!! mei-mei.gres...@greshko.com http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=cCSz_koUhSg signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
