Hi:

After making a lot of searches and reading I can only expect that somebody here can tell me a how to.

This is the problem:
I have installed a new Hard disk in my system. I formatted the new HD as reiser. Now I want that a normal user can read-write to it, but I am not able to do it.

Here is my fstab -the new HD is hdb1-:

/dev/hde2 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hdg1 /windows/C vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/hde5 /windows/D vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/hde1 swap swap pri=42 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/dvdrecorder /media/dvdrecorder subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /windows/E reiserfs acl,user_xattr 0 0

Thanks a lot!

/dev/hdb1 /windows/E reiserfs auto,umask=000 0 0

That should give everyone full access.

I changed my fstab and and now the system even doesn't mount the partition.

Is there any mistake?


Thanks a lot.

What are the permissions of the mount point?
ls -l /windows

Do you want it to automatically mount the partition? You could try this:
/dev/hdb1 reiserfs noauto,user,umask=000 0 0

Can you mount the partition manually?
mount -t reiserfs /dev/hdb1 /windows/E

And as michaelk suggested, check permissions.
chmod -R 777 /windows/E

With all of that, something should work.

This worked:

-In fstab:
/dev/hdb1 /windows/E reiserfs acl,user_xattr 0 0

-In console, as root:
chmod -R 777 /windows/E

Is this solution smart?

Thanks.
