Hi Constantine, first thanks a lot for your quick response! On umask: It doesn't look like that option will accept a user number... it seems to be a permission mask for filesystems that don't support builtin unix permissions
umask: octal file permissions You can change permissions using the parameter umask. But be aware that it must be the bitmask of permissions that are not present for the mountpoint. It is an octal number, formed like this: * character '0': Indicates that this is an octal number, not decimal. * first digit: owner user permissions * second digit: owner group permissions * third digit: world permissions (every other user on the system) -- gedit error "Could not create a backup file" when trying to save a file in a VFAT partition https://launchpad.net/bugs/69184 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
