Hello,
Discovered something odd today, trying to get the procedures down to
help someone who wanted to mount a second drive to a mount point in
their home directory.
Running FreeBSD5.5p2
* 2nd drive device/partition: /dev/ad1s1d
* /etc/sysctl.conf: vfs.usermount=1
* /etc/devfs.conf: perm ad1s1d 0666
Created a directory home homedir:
# mkdir /usr/home/dude/drive2
Ownership on mount point:
dude:dude /usr/home/dude/drive2
Now when I do:
# mount /dev/da1s1d /usr/home/dude/drive2
Ownership shows:
root:wheel /usr/home/dude/drive2
This is not acceptable! should be "dude:dude /usr/home/dude/drive2"
So I try:
# sudo chown -R dude:dude /usr/home/dude/drive2
ok, now it looks ok, but I don't expect it stick, but check it out:
# umount /usr/home/dude/drive2
# mount /dev/da1s1d /usr/home/dude/drive2
ownership still shows dude:dude !
I try to reboot, mount again, and ownership still is what I want, dude:dude
I add line to /etc/fstab, reboot, everything still looks good!
So any ideas on why I need to do a chown -R dude:dude after the first
mount?????? Am I missing something, going insane, or is something buggy
here????
Cheers,
DW
