Hi, can it be that the mountpoint itself (/mnt/install) has no access for others? Regards
Hi, thanks for nice suggestion. I had overlooked that. Now I changed the permission to full for that mount point. I mounted the drive with my fstab entry as: --------------------------------------------------------------- /dev/hdb1 /mnt/install ext3 defaults 1 1 it mounts but still same problem. to double check if its mounted I used $ df -h which gives me --------------------------- /dev/hdb1 19G 173M 18G 1% /mnt/install but cant access it as normal user but only as root user. any suggestions?
