 |
|
I have this little problem... I've put /tmp on a separate partition. /tmp should have a permissions 1777, so it can be accessed by any user. I've tried to add umask=000 to fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/sda2 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda1 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda5 /home ext3 noatime 0 0
/dev/sda6 /tmp ext3 noatime,umask=000 0 0
/dev/sr0 /home/gabriel/@CD auto users,noatime,noauto 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /home/gabriel/@USB vfat users,noatime,noauto 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
|
but when I try to mount I get:
| Code: |
EXT3 FS on sda6, internal journal
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "umask=000" or missing value
|
I've also tried to mount it without umask and set permission by chmod..... and it didn't work. What's wrong ? What am I doing wrong ?

Gabriel_Blake,
umask is ignored by filesystems that have proper *NIX permissions.
You need to set the permissions on the mount point but I don't recall if its before the partition is mounted or after.

ahhh... stupid me... as usual... I've set chmod 1777 on /usr instead of /tmp. That's what you get for using midnight commander.
True... setting permissions to 1777 after mounting works.
Thank you. |
