 Posted: Sat Dec 25, 2004 1:05 pm Post subject: another fstab issue |
 |
|
Alright, i got a new harddisk that i only want to use for file storage like mp3 videos and stuff.
But now i have some fstab trouble, this partition is /dev/hde1 and its reiserfs.
When i put it like this:
| Code: | | /dev/hde1 /mnt/video reiserfs noauto,user,defaults,umask=000 0 0 |
i get a error code: | Code: | | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hde1, or too many mounted file systems |
With | Code: | | /dev/hde1 /mnt/video reiserfs noatime,user,defaults 0 0 |
i can mount it, but not write on it.
The Folder /mnt/video belongs to me and users group, but when mounted it changes to root/root. Whats the right entry in fstab? =/ |

| okay, but i didnt mention that my trouble appears when trying to acces as a user. I am not able to write on this partition, just root is allowed to. I want to use it for the users group read and writable. |

Well, it seems like you haven't set the perms properly. If /mnt/dir belongs to you in place of root only means that you can mount anything into it, but does not give you any writting priviledges over his contents. umask=000 means that new files will have that perms, but does not mean that you will be able to writte on that drive. You have to mount as root and then change the permissions of that dir and its contents, so that everyone can write on it. The owner of the /mnt/dir directory can be root with no problem, so you make sure that no one will be able to erase it. |

no, i understood you that way that you alone would like to acess it anyway. are there actually other users who need write permission? this is still unclear to me. if not - did you even try my suggestion?
to give you an example:
this is my workstation here, and i am the one and only user. so (in your case, /mnt/mp3) could have the permissions of your own only (700) and you are able to access, read, write.
thats where my fstab entry comes in, and should fit you well.
are there actually more users accessing this mountpoint apart from you? in this case the permissions of the directory should be 770 and owned by <yourname>:users
infact of the ability deleting files in that directory, it depends what permissions those have. it depends on your umask setting. this is a different issue we could get at next, if you clarify.
ttyl
btw: oops: 6thpink was going @ the same issue as i figure. i know it sucks leaving reply windows open too long because called back by something else, though..  |

Okay thanks both of you for your patience, now i got the solution 
hds you were right in assuming that only me should be able to perform any action on this harddrive, so 700 was the right permission.
Actually the point i lagged was 6thpink advice to change the owner flags when the drive is mounted, now everything works fine. |

really? usually those permissions go away if you reboot. |

That's because reiserfs doesn't take the umask option.
