i set umask=000 in fstab for the device... doesnt do anything... and i know directory permission is overridden by mount... that doesnt answer the question as to why AFTER its mounted and AFTER i manually change the permssions.... it says it goes through... but it really doesnt..
mode of `/mnt/ipod' changed to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)
then after ls
drwxr--r-- 6 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 ipod |

chmod won't do anything on mounted directory
try this to mount your ipod
rather than
| Code: | | mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ipod |
so it reads the options from /etc/fstab

yeah mount won't read fstab if you specify source and destination. what i usually do is just
i think you can do one or the other though just not both. |
