That makes sense. I believe I have used some uid/gid options for ntfs and samba mounts in the past. No wonder I was having trouble.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/7/19 Björn Gustafsson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bg-ale@bjorng.net">bg-ale@bjorng.net</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">Looks like you are mounting an ext2 or similar filesystem. When the<br>
filesystem actually captures file ownership in a way that Linux<br>
understands, then the "user" mount option is meaningless, and the<br>
uid=/gid= also don't work (as you found out).<br>
