allowing read write to ext3 partition to non-root users

hi,

I need to allow non-root users to read/write on an ext3 partition.

Below is the relevant output from fdisk -l

Code:

 Device Boot      Start        End      Blocks  Id  System

/dev/sda1  *          1        5099    40957686    7  HPFS/NTFS

/dev/sda2            5100        8746    29294527+  83  Linux

/dev/sda3            8747        8989    1951897+  5  Extended

/dev/sda4            8990      19457    84084210  83  Linux

/dev/sda5            8747        8989    1951866  82  Linux swap

The partition in question is /dev/sda4 and it is mounted as /Data (setup during installation). Distribution: Debian Lenny

How can this be done?

Thanks :)

After mounting, did you chmod it?

Eg.

Code:

chmod a+w /Data

Evo2.

thanks :) wonder how i missed tht ;)
