changing permissions on mounted drives.
How do I change permissions on a mounted drive. I tried as root because he is the owner and group with no success. I umounted and was able to change it but as soon as I mounted them again or rebooted (this also mounted them), the changes I made to the permissions changed back.
[with mounted drives except removable:] [root@workstation1 drew]# cd /mnt [root@workstation1 mnt]# ls -l total 16 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 3 16:38 cdrom/ drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Jul 2 19:37 drew/ drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 3 16:38 floppy/ drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Jun 19 11:18 music/ drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Jul 1 11:47 _public/ drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jul 2 01:17 removable/ [with mounted drives including removable:] [root@workstation1 mnt]# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/removable [root@workstation1 mnt]# ls -l total 28 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 3 16:38 cdrom/ drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Jul 2 19:37 drew/ drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 3 16:38 floppy/ drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Jun 19 11:18 music/ drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Jul 1 11:47 _public/ drwxr--r-- 3 root root 16384 Dec 31 1969 removable/ [root@workstation1 mnt]# [drive discription:] drew - drive on a windows box using active directory over samba music - same as drew _public - same as drew removable - USB 64MB hand drive (flash_ROM stick) pluged into localhost I tried "chmod 777 /mnt/removable" to give me full control and tried using konqueror in super user mode with no success. I want the owner to be drew and group to be staff. Right now it's all root. |
For non-linux native FS's and networked
ones you can't chmod... you'll need to edit /etc/fstab for that, playing with umask and uid ... man mount man fstab for more info :} Cheers, Tink |
Thanks, but still confuzed.
This is what my /etc/fstab looks like:
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 //server1/_public /mnt/_public smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/auth.server1.drew 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 //server1/drew /mnt/drew smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/auth.server1.drew 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 //server1/music /mnt/music smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/auth.server1.drew 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/removable vfat user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0,exec,kudzu 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 I want read/write/execute permissions for /mnt/removable from my user only. Right now root owns it and I want drew to own it. |
