 Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 4:25 am Post subject: permission denied on /var/tmp [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi,
I've just moved /var/ to its own partition by simply copying everything over from the root /var that I had for some time.
I've now got a permission denied on /var/tmp/ and was wondering if anyone could tell me the correct permissions that I need to set....

I checked the permissions on this system against those of another system where /var/ sits on the main root partition, but can't see anything different as they look identical.
Thanks in advance for any tips/pointers,

| /etc/fstab: |
/dev/hdb6 /var/ ext3 noatime,users 0 0

...so I 'd have thought that everything was fine, since this /etc/fstab entry is identical to the entry for /usr/portage which sits on its own partition (well it used to, I now mount it from NFS, and am trying to use the freed space to place /var/ on).

| Why do people always add 'users' to the mount options for system partitions (which is generally pretty useless and just causes problems as it implies a bunch of other options as well)? |

In this instance it was laziness, the entry used to be for /usr/portage which I wanted to browse and list as a normal user, so I added 'users' to the mount option. This was about seven or eight years ago when I was starting out with GNU/Linux and before I discovered that I could simply add my user account to the portage group and set owner and group permissions to portage for that sub-directory.
Any thoughts on the permission's problem when moving /var/ to a separate partition?

From "man mount":
| Code: |
users Allow every user to mount and unmount the file system. This option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by
subsequent options, as in the option line users,exec,dev,suid).
|
Don't put "users" on system partitions - It implies "noexec", which means you can't execute things!

Thanks AllenJB for removing the obfuscation behind Genone's post.
My lesson for today has been well and truly learnt, and I won't be forgetting it in the future.
