I wanted to mount an ext3 partition . I created the folder, I modified the fstab file and then rebooted. When trying to access the folder it says "access denied". I changed the owner from root to user and rebooted, but the error persists.
Here is my fstab file :
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD800JB-00J_WD-WMAM9E055629-part3 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD1600AAJB-_WD-WMAP95798329-part5 /home/Date2 ext3 defaults,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD800JB-00J_WD-WMAM9E055629-part4 swap swap defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/WindowsC ntfs defaults,umask=0 0 0
/dev/sda5 /media/DateWin ntfs defaults,umask=0 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/Adi1 ntfs defaults,umask=0 0 0
/dev/sdb2 /media/Adi2 ntfs defaults,umask=0 0 0

And the permission for the folder :
drw-rw-rw- 3 adriana root 4096 2007-10-05 22:19 Date2

I use opensuse 10.3

What is wrong?

if you do 'man mount' and search for 'defaults', you'll see that it assumes: rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser and async.
so, try instead with:
and you should be fine.

it's still not working. Anyway, 'user' means it can be mountable by user, but i want to be accessed by user. It can be read & written only by root

as user and execute e.g. as root, then post here output

owner -> adriana, group -> users, but it still didn't solve the problem.
I finnaly made it work when, in konqeuror, Date2 -> Properties -> Permissions -> Advanced Permissions -> I ticked the column "Enter".
