Feature added by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #310832, revision 1 Title: add write permission to users on the fstab options openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Description: Hello, It's more and more frequent to have a big partition shared by users for large data (video...). Now one have to allow writing on these partitions with going root and making chown :users <mount point> chmod g+w <mount point> It should be a good idea to add the option in the partitionner to make this. One more option "allow writing by users", for example. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310832
