My problem right now is that I'd like to mount /dev/sda8/herb under /home/herb but I don't know how to mount the directory there. I also don't know how to mount the top of the drive under /home/herb and give him write access.
The root of a partiton belongs to the user that mounted, whjich is root if it was mounted from fstab. Check out the uid and gid options in man mount to mount it as a different user. You need something like
/dev/hdX /home/herb ext3 uid=xxx,gid=yyy,other,options 0 0
I thought that the uid= and gid= options were specific to vfat partitions (at least that's what man mount says).
Is this not the case? If so, it would make my life much easier than the way I've been handling ext3 and reiser3 mounts to make them user-owned....
There's a lost+found directory he'd see that I'd prefer he didn't, etc.
Delete it, it's not needed.
As long as it's empty, of course. If there's stuff in it, you might want to make sure there's nothing that needs saving/moving before deleting the directory.
