After my fiasco with filling my drive, due to a late night computing error, I picked up a 300gb drive. I formated it, named it /extra and gave myself permission to it. But I was wondering, if I was not the only user on this system, if I had made it's mount point under /home (like /home/extra) what would I need to set the permissions to for everyone to use it under their home directory? Thanks Randal

chmod 777 will give everyone full permissions to read write & execute. They can then create their own directories, with the appropriate permissions.
Is there a problem running nfs and samba at the same time in suse 10.0? I recall doing that with no problem a few versions back, but after i started nfs server/client my samba stopped working. nfs client is running fine.

Shouldn't be a problem. I run both here.

I would leave it mounted not under /home, but under another directory, such as /mnt/extra. I'd su to root and chown root:users /mnt/extra and then chmod for group and owner read and write access.
