AFAIK, you can't do that with ext2/3/xfs/reiser/... because they store the permissions inside the file system. that means if you mount the filesystem all files belong to specific uid/gid that may or may not match to your system (e.g I'm pretty sure if I chown -R 65434:65434 /mnt/harddisk and give that to you you will just see the number and not any user name) hth martin -- http://noneisyours.marcher.name http://feeds.feedburner.com/NoneIsYours -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
