data=ordered is an ext3 mount option. AFAIK it has no effect on a reiser partition.
The option has been added by SuSE's installer, I haven't edited /etc/fstab since the installation...
Because they were given that permission at some point, such as when they were created.
Sorry, my question was badly formulated, I'll try again:
Because I was unable to copy a dir owned by a regular user to /shared/ I
unmounted the partition and chown'ed it to username:users.
I then remounted it (as that user)
After this I still wasn't able to copy the dir because the ownership of
/shared was reset to root:root
I did a chown -R username:users while the partition was mounted and now
it seems to be ok.
Previously the partition was FAT32 and all files in it got the
ownership/rights of the mount point. That's what got me confused.
Although I still don't understand why the ownership changed the first
time...
Thx for the help
