When I created the partitions, the mount points for the dos partitions had a user or root and a group of root, as indicated below. I changed these to john users, but it seems that it has changed back, on its own. I am now unable to write to these partitions.
The permissions are controlled by the fstab file. root:root is normal.
What are the two bottom entries of the /media for?
It is dificult to understand your question, your email is a bit dissorganized.
What does user_xattr mean and why is it needed?
user extended atributes, I think.
Why is acl needed?
access control lists.

Thoughts?
My crystall ball says that the above paragraph is your /media directory, and that your previous question refered to the last two lines. Well, that's the new system of automounting cdroms: the mount point is given the name of the volume label, automatically, but they are not deleted on disk change. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFCv+91tTMYHG2NR9URAjIsAJ9r7D5KdZhsJGOLr1m0Ml2Go+44kgCeISfI E2imdsR6apXe2Lok1dON9Hs= =0ebd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
