Hi, Does anyone knows how to solve this? I have this configuration: Disk /dev/hda Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 7 56196 6 FAT16 /dev/hda2 8 4462 35784787+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 8 402 3172806 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda6 403 803 3221001 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda7 804 815 96358+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 816 955 1124518+ 83 Linux /dev/hda9 956 1897 7566583+ 83 Linux /dev/hda10 1898 2274 3028221 83 Linux /dev/hda11 2275 2457 1469916 83 Linux /dev/hda12 2458 2591 1076323+ 83 Linux /dev/hda13 2592 3861 10201243+ 83 Linux /dev/hda14 3862 3927 530113+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda15 3928 4462 4297356 7 HPFS/NTFS Disk /dev/hde Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hde1 * 1 1070 8594743+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hde2 1071 2434 10956330 5 Extended /dev/hde5 1071 2434 10956298+ 7 HPFS/NTFS Disk /dev/hdf Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdf1 * 1 1306 10490413+ 83 Linux /dev/hdf2 1307 2434 9060660 5 Extended /dev/hdf5 1307 2434 9060628+ 83 Linux $ls -l /mnt/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 18 03:10 cdrom drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 18 03:10 cdrom1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 18 03:10 floppy drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jul 24 17:31 lin1 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jul 24 17:31 lin2 Now, I want to mount hdf1 and hdf5 onto /mnt/lin1 and /mnt/lin2 so that an ordinary user can modify (create, change, delete) the contents of the two partitions. My fstab looks like [...] /dev/hdf1 /mnt/lin1 ext3 defaults,rw,exec,suid,user 0 0 /dev/hdf5 /mnt/lin2 ext3 defaults,rw,exec,suid,user 0 0 [...] When I do $mount /mnt/lin1 $ls -l /mnt/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 18 03:10 cdrom drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 18 03:10 cdrom1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 18 03:10 floppy drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jul 24 18:37 lin1 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jul 24 17:31 lin2 Which means that, as ordinary user, I cannot create, change or delete files on /mnt/lin1. What should I change in fstab to get these rights? Thank you for your time, Marian
