Ok this is really annoying. Before I reinstall my 1.4rc1 I was able to mount as a user but now I cant and dunno why

I try the suggestion from this thread :
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=10147&highlight=ntfs+umask

But it wont work this is what I set in fstab :
Quote:

/dev/hde6 /mnt/games ext3 owner,uid=1000,gid=100,async 0 0
/dev/hde7 /mnt/download ext3 owner,uid=1000,gid=100,async 0 0


When I type mount -a I receive :
Quote:

root@Atlas /home/skeleton:mount -a
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hde6,
or too many mounted file systems
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hde7,
or too many mounted file systems


I know the fstype is good because I can mount it as root with the -t ext3.

My /etc/password for my user give me 1000 for uid and 100 for gid

what is my error.

2) I posted about evolution startup problem but no one seems to find a way for that. SO Just ask again just to be sure.

Each time I reboot my computer I have to do the command : killev has my user to make evolution working WHY? this is really annoying to do this each time and dont tell me to not reboot plz ;)

Followups on this question in evolution error startup please.

EDIT: Added the following
This thread isn't related to NTFS issues. Please see User can mount Ntfs but not enter directory. Why?, for issues related to mounting NTFS/vfat volumes with permissions.

I realize you're frustrated, but this subject line is not very descriptive, and might scare some people off.

I know the fstype is good because I can mount it as root with the -t ext3.

Two things are going on here, I think. First of all, the fact that it mounts OK with the filesystem type explicitly stated hints to me that you probably have ghost superblock data as a result of having had ntfs or vfat on these partitions before. See mount says /dev/hda1 (/boot) is ntfs? for more on this issue.

Secondly, if you are trying to enable mounting as a user for an ext3 filesystem, why are you doing ntfs-y things from ntfs threads to it? I don't see the need for the uid= and gid= parameters, and I would change "owner" to "user", unless your user happens to own the raw disk partition, which is possible, I suppose, but unlikely. See fstab (5) and mount (8 ) for more information.

My apologies ... The subject should be more explicit.


I tried to the dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hde6 and change owner to user and users, rw and I this time it will mount but the perm on /mnt/games is 755 and my user can't write to it.

I try manually with mount -o users,rw /dev/hde6 /mnt/games. and still no good.

I read the fstab and mount man over and over and still cant figure it out.

When it's mounted, change the permissions and ownership of /mnt/games to whatever you want with chmod. The permissions should stick on the root directory of that partition, and take effect the next time you mount it. I just checked this with my /boot partition, and was able to chmod and chown it, and it persisted across an unmount/mount.

Oh thanks so much rac. I didn't know you can do that with ext3 I always use the ntfs to get my stuff.
