Hi
I have a Reiserfs partition on /dev/hda5 and the following line in /etc/fstab: /dev/hda5 /shared reiserfs user,data=ordered 1 2
data=ordered is an ext3 mount option. AFAIK it has no effect on a reiser partition.
Why are all files in this partition owned by root when I mount it?
Because they were given that permission at some point, such as when they were created.
I changed the ownership of the mountpoint to username:users and executed the mount command as regular user.
reiser is a unix file system. That means each file has its own set of permission bits. You have to set the permissions on each file, using chmod.
The device /dev/hda5 is owned by root:disk but I shouldn't have to change that do I?
You shouldn't change that period. Anders
