I wish to have all users of all Debian installs on my laptop have
unrestricted access to everything on a particular partition. It
was suggested adding a line to /etc/fstab would accomplish my goal.
Original /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to
name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump>
<pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=4df6d0f9-d98b-47da-9e2c-90b5a65b208d / ext2
errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=226e866a-4952-4a8f-a172-35fa263df9f5 none swap sw
0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
to which I added this line
/dev/sda5 /owlett ext2
rw,users,exec
On rebooting it failed with a "missing mount point" message. As
root I did a mkdir.
There were no error messages on the next reboot.
However when I displayed the directory with Nautilus, the icons
for all existing files and folders were flagged with the lock
icon adjacent.
They had been created under a Debian install which no longer is
present.
Is this the expected result?
Will doing "chmod -R 777 /owlett" allow all users of any Debian
install having the edited /etc/fstab have unrestricted access to
all files and folders on that partition?
TIA
