Kindly tell me what > options will go into fstab. 1) /tmp is a system dir. Create a directory of your own, or you could lose information. Do not use /tmp! 2) I believe you should try umask=000, I think this is a reverse mask, say 027 will give you rwxr-x--- permissions. Just try, I didn't. Example, if your userid is 500 and your groupid: /dev/hda3 /mytmp ext2 auto,uid=500,gid=100,umask=027 0 good luck. -- Rodolfo Alcázar (rodolfo.alcazar@xxxxxxxxxxxx) Administrador datos y red - Padep/GTZ La Paz, Bolivia
