Feature changed by: Jiri Zouhar (loigu) Feature #305723, revision 2 Title: Allow to set the owner of a partition openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: If a user buys a new external harddrive and partitions it via YaST he will not be able to write on it, since the filesystem is owned by root. A normal user would need to know about how to use konsole and which command to use in order to change the owner. It would be a lot easier, if the user could change the owner within the partitioning module. Of course this should not be possible for system-partitions such as / and /usr etc, yet /windows and /media, as well as /home/xyz/ should be fine. The problem is not trivial as it is not enough to change fstab.
