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.
