Thanks for your replies! >It is not typically a problem with directories >like home since /home is owned by root, but is a problem when a user >owns the entire partition filesystem. this is my case. below is the line used /etc/fstab : /dev/sda1 /home/backup ext3 iocharset=utf8,user,noatime, 1 2 >You need to make sure that /home/user has the correct permission on it before >you mount the disk, and then after you mount the disk you need to again make >sure the correct permission is on /home/user. >If you have user:user on /home/user before the mount, but not on /home/user >after the mount (actually on "." on the filesystem on the disk part) then the >most restrictive of the two permissions will be used. If either permission is >wrong, there will be problems. Is there some options to force uid&gid on the root of the mounted filesystem like (in the affs options) ? $ ll /home drwx--x--x 3 user user 1024 may 21 21:32 user/ $ mount /dev/sda1 -v /dev/sda1 on /home/user type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user=user) $ ll /home drwx--x--x 4 root root 4096 may 21 21:18 user/ $ su - # chown -c user:user /home/user/ # ll /home drwx--x--x 4 user user 4096 may 21 21:18 user/ I don't know if the last command is correct & secure & what it implies, but it works the change seems to be persistent ! Cant anyone confirm ? Hope this can help you some days ! --- guillaume -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
