I just added a new disk to my pc and I made 2 xfs partitions. Then I created directories /backup and /data2 and I put these lines in /etc/fstab: /dev/hda1 /backup xfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda2 /data2 xfs defaults 1 2 I want normal users to be able to write to those partitions so I did chown root:users /backup chmod 775 /backup and similarly for /data2. However, when I mount the partitions (as root) the permissions change to 755. 14) root:~> ls -ld /backup/ drwxrwxr-x 2 root users 4096 Jan 24 20:32 /backup/ 15) root:~> mount /backup/ 16) root:~> ls -ld /backup/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 6 Jan 19 15:02 /backup/ What do I do? I'm puzzled especially because I have one more xfs partition created in the yore days of FC4 (running FC6 now with kernel 2.6.19-1.2895) with a similar entry in /etc/fstab: LABEL=/data1 /data xfs defaults 1 2 with the same ownership and permissions (775) that doesn't change permissions when mounted. What gives? Thanks!
