Do you want to own this as root or change ownership to the user? I've created partitions as root and then I use the command
chown user:group directory to change ownership. The user can then write to the directory. If you want to have read/write permissions but still retain ownership by root (say to prevent deletion) then: chmod 766 directory (for rwx as root and rw for group and global) Hope this helps Andrew -----Original Message----- From: marc dobler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 8:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: root created partition not writable by user hello ! i've just created a ext2 partition as root. but as normal user, no way to write in it ... basically, mounting by user is : /dev/sdb5 /mnt/newpart ext2 rw,user 0 0 i tried many options, but no way to WRITE as normal user on the newpart ... what is wrong ? what are the good options to add ??? thank you for help Marc -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list *********************************************************************************** NNC Limited Booths Hall Chelford Road Knutsford Cheshire WA16 8QZ Country of Registration: United Kingdom Registered Number: 1120437 This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
