Could anyone explain the following to me:


from /etc/fstab :
Code:

/dev/hda13      /home/progster/divx   ext3      noatime,user       0 0
/dev/hdb8      /home/progster/music   ext3      noatime,user      0 0

Yet (ls -l output):
Code:

drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Aug 26 21:15 divx
drwxr-xr-x   61 progster users        8192 Aug 30 21:02 music


How come I don't have permissions to do anything with the divx directory (not even mount or umount it) and can do whatever I want with the music directory?
