I know it will break things if I just do it blindly. I want this partition to be mounted during boot so that all daemons/programs by other uses use this partion as /tmp. Your method of using uid=??? is not supported by options for ext2 (see man page and also try doing it practically) See below *********************************************** [root@dxr ~]# mount /dev/hdh3 /t -o noatime,uid=0,gid=0,umask=000 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdh3, or too many mounted file systems [root@dxr ~]# mount /dev/hdh3 /t -o noatime,uid=0,gid=0 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdh3, or too many mounted file systems [root@dxr ~]# mount /dev/hdh3 /t -o noatime,uid=0 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdh3, or too many mounted file systems [root@dxr ~]# mount /dev/hdh3 /t -o noatime *********************************************** The last command actually mounted it, and did not complain. so clearly those extra options are not supported.
