Dear ILUGC,
I have a reiserfs partition, which I'd like to mount with ordinary
user writable permissions. However, an option of umask or uid in
/etc/fstab alongside "defaults" warns me with an "invalid option"
warning and fails to mount. What is the right way to mount it with
user write permissions? Googling didn't get me far...
AFAIK, umask is supposed to be specific for FAT file systems, where
the files don't have a owner by default (you can see 'man mount' for
the filesystem specific options). Reiserfs has support for users and
groups, so mounting it should also honour this ownership.
In that sense, I would *guess* there isn't a "right" way to achieve
what you want.
