Quick and dirty method if you only want yourself to use the disk. I have a spare ext3 partition so: garath root # grep spare /etc/fstab /dev/hdb9 /mnt/spare ext3 noauto 0 0 garath root # mount /mnt/spare garath root # ls -ld /mnt/spare drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Nov 21 14:56 /mnt/spare garath root # chown pvarner:users /mnt/spare garath root # ls -ld /mnt/spare drwxr-xr-x 20 pvarner users 4096 Nov 21 14:56 /mnt/spare garath root # umount /mnt/spare garath root # ls -ld /mnt/spare drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 18 20:11 /mnt/spare garath root # mount /mnt/spare garath root # ls -ld /mnt/spare drwxr-xr-x 20 pvarner users 4096 Nov 21 14:56 /mnt/spare garath root # su - pvarner [EMAIL PROTECTED] pvarner $ cd /mnt/spare [EMAIL PROTECTED] spare $ mkdir test_dir [EMAIL PROTECTED] spare $ ls -ld test_dir drwxr-xr-x 2 pvarner users 4096 Dec 18 20:12 test_dir [EMAIL PROTECTED] spare $ cd test_dir/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] test_dir $ touch junk [EMAIL PROTECTED] test_dir $ echo "This is a test" >> junk [EMAIL PROTECTED] test_dir $ cat junk This is a test [EMAIL PROTECTED] test_dir $ logout garath root # umount /mnt/spare garath root # If you want multiple users to be able to use the disk, then instead of chown, do a 'chgrp users /mnt/storage' and a 'chmod 2775 /mnt/storage' This will set the sticky bit for group users and cause all files to have a group of users. This keeps the ownership seperate, but allows for the reading/writing of files by different users.
