Jza Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 I want my partitions to be writable by users by default. Currently I have to become root, unmount it and then mount it as a regular user. So I want the users to be able to write to it without going through that process I beleieve umask should be use but which values should I get on them. Regars.

aioshin Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 mount that as root, create a folder on that partition, then make that folder writable to everyone.. or... create a group, say "rwgroup" then chown that folder to root.rwgroup and chmod 770 and make those users you want to have rw access to that folder a member of rwgroup.. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilia_kr Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 You can edit your /etc/fstab.conf to mount partitions on boot and determine who has the right to mount a partition.
