I am unable to set the permissions I desire on a diskette with a UFS
file system. Specifically, I would like to be able to mount the
diskette with group write permission at the mount point.
I prepared the diskette with :
fdformat -f 1440 fd0
disklabel -w -r /dev/fd0 fd1440
newfs -T fd1440 /dev/fd0
Then I mounted it with:
mount -w -t ufs /dev/fd0a /fd
Before the mount command, the permissions on the "/fd" directory are:
> ll -d /fd
drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Jan 24 18:33 /fd
After the mount, the permissions are:
> ll -d /fd
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Feb 3 22:45 /fd
I am unable to force the permissions on the mount point to allow group
write access. I am also unable to find any documentation on how these
permissions are managed. I looked at the disklabel, newfs, and mount
man pages. I also checked the freebsd-questions and deja news
archives. I was unable to find anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Rob.
