When you say "adjusted the mount point" you must distinguish between the directory on which you mount the file system and the root of the mounted file system. When the files system is mounted, it's root takes over the mounted-on directory. So the modes you apply to the mounted-on directory (while the file system is _not_ mounted) are completely obscured once the file system is mounted. So let's say the mount point directory is "/mnt/mountpoint". If you do an "ls -ld /mnt/mountpoint" while the file system is not mounted and again when it is, you're seeing the information about two completely different directories. > Thanks again! > > Carl Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
