You can't. It's a reiserfs file system, it has Unix owners and permissions. It doe snot matter how you mount it, those permissions will be used. If the user does not have permissions, then they can't use it. Same as / By your post I can see you are confused with vfat and ntfs. Not being Unix filesystems, the kernel has to fudge something to use, and you can make them whatever you want. Stop fooling around with fstab and mount options. The commands you want are chown and chmod -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
