Hi all, i recently added a 15GB harddrive to my pc, I created a reiserfs filesystem, I can mount it as a regular user, but can't write to it, i can write to as root. here is the /etc/fstab entry. /dev/hdb1 /mnt/d2 reiserfs user,noauto 0 0 also I tried adding 'rw' to it but it doesn't help, any ideas, i have a few fat32 partitions setup as 'user,noauto', and i can write to them just fine as the user. I have tried going through the man pages for fstab, and mount, I don't know what I'm missing. thanx.

The "user" option in fstab only means any user can mount it, not write to it. If you want any user to write to it (I'm assuming you're the only real user on the machine), as root, do: chmod 0777 /mnt/d2 Or if you want to give just your user account write access to it: chown youruser:yourgroup /mnt/d2 chmod 0755 /mnt/d2 Substitute your actual username and group name. Both of these should be done while the filesystem is mounted.
