I am trying to mount a ReiserFS partition in my home directory to be used as a shared Documents directory between two distros. That means I want to set the owner and group of the directory to a user when it is mounted.

With other partition types I have accomplished this by using the uid and gid options in fstab, but that does not appear to work with reiserfs (after looking at the man page, it looks like reiserfs has very few options).

I haven't even been able to mount it manually (as the user) and get the desired ownership.

Is there any way to do this, or should I switch to ext3?

Can't you just mount the partition, and then use chown to set ownership, or am I misunderstanding the goal?

Thanks.

Well, I feel rather stupid. Apparently easy and obvious don't always go together. No wonder large amounts of searching couldn't help me.
