Could you post the output of: # ls -la /mnt/macos
It gave this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ls -la /mnt/macos total 8 dr--r-x--x 2 root users 4096 Jan 8 18:03 ./ drwxrwxrwx 6 root root 4096 Jan 8 11:20 ../
What you see there is /mnt/macos is empty. All it contains is the special files . and ..
This means that the macos directory had dr--r-x--x and is owned by root but is in the users group.
/mnt has drwxrwxrwx which means anyone on the machine can create files/directories here.
I assume that the macos disk is not actually mounted at present. Running:
% df -h
will show if this is the case or not.
As for the macos directory, it would be proper for the permisions to be:
drwxr-xr-x
so,
% chmod 755 /mnt/macos
would suffice. If you wanted users in the 'user' group to be able to write to the macos directory, then:
% chmod 775 /mnt/macos
would do.
Usually, I would not allow write access to the macos directory, but create a directory in the macos dir which has more open permissions.
Once you have the disk mounted (assuming that the disk is not mounted in your example output above) you would need to provide more info as to what sort of data is on there (I have never used MacOS).

OK, that doesn't seem right ay, but .. hmm, what was the permissions for the macos before you changed it? If you used to be able to read, write and execute on it then, the owner root, should have rwx, and r-x for the group members .. atleast to view it right, which is why you were trying 755 .. and as root, chmod 755 /mnt/macos .. didnt work ? I'm stumped .. So I hope someone with more experience than me jumps in soon 8)
