How to mount filesystem with correct user locally for a mountpoint
Code:
Hi Folks,
I created a Virtual Machine and created few mount points
/opt/admin/install
Everything is fine after VM creation (used oracle virtualbox) and now when it reboots it always comes as root:root for the mount point.
Below is from my fstab
/dev/mapper/vg_host1-lv_wd_admin /opt/admin/install ext4 defaults 1 2
$ ls -ld /opt/admin/install
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 May 4 11:16 /opt/admin/install
Since i want that mountpoint to be owned by wdadmin:wdgrp i tried updating the fstab as below
but interestingly the mountpoint didnt showup after reboot.
/dev/mapper/vg_host1-lv_wd_admin /opt/admin/install ext4 defaults,rw,uid=wdadmin,gid=wdgrp,dmask=022,fmask=055 1 2
after reboot i cant see this mountpoint so can some one please give me the correct syntax to fstab to mount the mountpoint (local mount point) to wdamin:wdgroup
Since this is local mountpoint

Reason: corrected typo
unsure of the details pertaining to fstab, its proper flags, or how it interacts with virtual machines, but a hackaound may be to just write a one liner with mount and place it in a startup script to be run with each reboot
Code:
sudo mount -o rw,gid=wdgrp,uid=wdadmin,dmask=022,fmask=055 /dev/mapper/vg_host1-lv_wd_admin /opt/admin/install

Reason: gramm`err
even i got the idea to add small script but not sure in which script i need to add this details (or) how to make my script run after the reboot (this should happen before my application starts)
/etc/profile
The systemwide initialization file, executed for login shells
it really depends on how your system is set up,
search for some literature on initialization files pertaining to your setup, eg. distro, desktop environment, shell et al
