[gentoo-user] Share hard drive for multiple users
Hi all, I need to mount a new hard drive formatted in ext3 to /mnt/C such that multiple users can use it. However, all users can only read the data from the share drive Any suggestion? Below is my fstab configuration: /dev/sda1 /mnt/C ext3 rw,auto,noatime,defaults 0 1 Thanks Hung

For example, if you want the whole thing to be rwx, do chmod 777 /mnt/C/* -R. I personally, would do this: find /mnt/C -type d | xargs chmod 777 find /mnt/C -type f | xargs chmod 666 This will make all directories in the drive writeable, readable and executable (necessary for dirs) to everyone. All files will be readable and writeable to everyone.

All files will be readable and writeable to everyone. But new files will still be only writeable by their creator. You should look at using ACLs for this. -- Neil Bothwick Rugged: Too heavy to lift. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
