Topic: Bug when adding extra drive ?

[dj_ramjet99]

Hi,

I have noticed tis twice now, whenever I mount an extra drive as an i-Bay, the server seems to have now way of setting griup or user permissions on it. For example, if I add a new drive under the mount point of /home/e-smith/files/ibays/newdrive, no one except for root has access to it, even when I have set up a new group with access to it through the server manager.
I need to go onto the command line and do it manually through a chmod or chown command.
Is this a bug or am I missing a crucial step when mounting ?

I suppose you added the "mount" line in /etc/fstab

Could you please post here what you typed ?

Thanx

I supose you want to mount your extra HDD to the files directory of the new ibay ?, I added a extra HDD to my data ibay to extend it capacity.

This is how I did 't:

1 in FSTAB is a line called /dev/hdb1 /home/e-smith/files/ibays/data/files ext2 defaults 1 2
2 on the propmt type: cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/data
3 type: ls -l (you'll see a difference between the files, and HTML and CGI-BIN
4 type: chown root.shared files (this will change the owner and group, watch the dot)
5 type chmod 0770 files (this will set the read and write of the new HDD)
6 type ls -l
7 On your windoze the data folder will be writeable, remove the lost and found dir.


Good Luck,
