[ccoss] Re: mounting errors

Just what are you trying to do anyway?

You should be able to mount this as usual, create what you need on it 
with appropriate poermissions, then perhaps link to it from wherever you 
like...

One common practice is to mount home on a partition, and each directory 
thenis of course chowned to the various users...
