under root login, /etc/fstab contains the following line (i changed your ext3 to ext2) *********************** /dev/hdh3 /t ext2 defaults 1 2 ***********************
then root mounted /t *********************** [root@dxr ~]# mount /t
***********************
under mythtv user *********************** [mythtv@dxr work]$ mkdir /t/t mkdir: cannot create directory `/t/t': Permission denied [mythtv@dxr work]$
***********************
Perhaps I'm not making myself clear.
With your system in the state after running the above commands, do the following as root:
mount /dev/hdh3 /t chown root:root /t chmod 1777 /t
This will set up the filesystem. Now umount the filesystem.
umount /t
Now, next time you mount the filesystem, it should work.
mount /t
Try mkdir /t/t as user mythtv.
