This is a very newbie-ish question but here it is... I have several partitions, three of which I want to mount via fstab so that any user can read (not write) all of the files and directories. These are all ext2 filesystems, currently being mounted in this manner via fstab:
dev/hda8 /mp3 ext2 rw,user,suid,dev,sync,noauto 0 2 etc etc... The problem is that everything on these partitions was moved by me when I was logged in as root; the filesystems were mounted rw,default at the time. I'm not sure what's up but I can't access the 2nd level directories as a normal user anymore. I tried changing the group, permissions, etc of the files manually and it does no good - I get "permission denied" when I try to change directories within the /mp3 dir at all (same with all the other mounted partitions I moved stuff on, two others specifically). Please, someone tell me what my silly mistake is. Is it the options I'm using in fstab, or did I do something wonky to my permissions when I moved the files? It shows the current permissions on the dirs as this: drw-rw-rw- 6 root audio 4.0k Mar 6 20:58 l/ drw-rw-rw- 2 root audio 16k Mar 6 20:34 lost+found/ drw-rw-rw- 3 root audio 4.0k Mar 6 20:58 miscmp3/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mp3 > cd a bash: cd: a: Permission denied (Yes, Haunted is a member of the audio group.)
