Just change the directory permissions for that partition. The USB drive partition has a separate filesystem from the root partition, and the permissions you need to set are filesystem permissions. Thus, the USB drive must be mounted in order to set its filesystem's permissions. If you attempt to change permissions of the mountpoint when the drive is not mounted, then you are setting permissions in the root partition's filesystem, rather than the USB drive's filesystem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
