I seem to be hitting dead ends and I'm beginning to think this isn't as
easy as I first thought.
I am putting together a box for unattended operation. I want to mount
an ext3 partition into the main user's home directory, I want this to
occur automatically when all file systems are mounted at system start
via /etc/fstab and I want the partition and all its contents owned by
that user. The user will not be logging in as the account is used to
run a cron job.
This seems easy enough if I make the partition vfat with the uid and
gid mount options, but I lose the journalling and permissions
capabilities of ext3. Surely, there is a way to do this or a very good
technical explanation why it can't. ;-)
/
+home
+user
+partition <= owned by user like any other directory
Thanks!
