That shoulkd work just fine. If it mounts automatically (like the other filesystems in fstab) the "root" mounts it, and the ownership etc will be what you specifiy. It's "user" mounts (eg "mount /mnt/floppy" as a user) that have less power. If this is a disc drive partition there's no reason for it not to be permanently mounts like everything else in /etc/fstab. | I suppose I could | get around that by creating a partition for the user and having fstab mount | it for that user.
