Sorry about my advice earlier - I misread mtab (which tells you what's mounted) as fstab (which tells you how to mount things).
As the other guys have correctly pointed out, your system is mounting the drive automatically, rather than using /etc/fstab. This is probably being done by ivman and hald. On my system, the relevant config file is at: /etc/ivman/IvmConfigBase.xml In that file, there's the following: <!-- <ivm:Option name="umask" value="002" /> --> If it's the same on your system, try uncommenting that line (by removing the <!-- and -->) and change the value to, say, 022. You'd then need to remount the drive, and hopefully the permissions would be correct. If this doesn't help, hopefully the ubuntu guys can help you out. Finally, I completely agree with the other guys about switching to a better file system. I'm using ext3 on my external drives and couldn't be happier. -- bukharin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bukharin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10859 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34339 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
