 Posted: Sat Sep 25, 2004 6:53 pm Post subject: Problem mounting a drive for a user to use |
 |
|
| Code: | | /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb reiserfs umask=000,user,noatime,notail 0 0 |
| Code: | | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1, or too many mounted file systems |
I don't know whats going on, because if I remove the umask, it mounts fine, except then the user cannot use it... I've googled all over and this seems to be the solution, but now it wont mount with that option. |

| 'umask' is not a valid option for reiserfs (see 'man mount'). Use standard unix permissions on your mounted reiser volume to make it user writable. |

Hmph, I'm looking through the mount pages and not seeing what I need to be using. I mean, my /home partition mount doesn't have any special options and obviously my user can use it fine...?
So confused. |

Nonono, your mount command without umask is fine, just use
| Code: | | chown -R user:group /your/mount/point |
to change the permissions of your volume, where 'user' is your username and 'group' is most likely 'users'. |
