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. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
