I might be wrong but I'm guessing you want different permissions on the mountpoint. In that case you can simply `chmod 700 /mnt/your_stick` it with ext2 (while mounted). ext2 stores this and will use the same permissions the next mount. This is true for all filesystems that support permissions (which all normal linux filesystems do) umask is only intended to make up for the lack of file permissions on vfat. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
