$ cd /u1
$ pwd
/u1
$ mkdir test
mkdir: cannot create directory 'test': Permission denied
$ vi test.txt
[ Do some stuff to the file ]
[ Trying to write the file yields, "test.txt" Can't open file for writing ]
$ cd ..
$ ls -l
....
drwxr-xr-x      12      root    root    4096    Dec 31 1969     u1
....

u1 is the mount point for /dev/hda6

$ umount u1
$ mount /dev/hda6 /u1
mount: only root can do that
$ su
[ password ]
$ mount /dev/hda6 /u1
$
$ su root
... password entereed here ...
[root]$ cd u1
[root]$ mkdir test
[root]$ vi test.txt
[ do some stuff to test.txt ]
[ writing and saving file as root functions normally ]
[root]$ su nonroot
$ mkdir test2
mkdir: cannot creat directory 'test2': Permission denied



And so it goes.

Is there any additional information that I could provide which would help?
