Can't create symbolic link on my external hard drive

Okay, I use partitionMagic to re-format my linux partition to 'ext3',
and the following is the /etc/fstab.

However, I can't make any directory as a non-root user. How can I fix that? Thanks for any help.

And how can I easily convert that to 'xfs or reiser' again?

Thanks for all the help.

Code:

[scheung@lxp-cheung LINUXDATA]$ mkdir src
mkdir: cannot create directory `src': Permission denied
[scheung@lxp-cheung LINUXDATA]$ more /etc/fstab

Code:

[scheung@lxp-cheung LINUXDATA]$ more /etc/fstab
