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
It will, but remember that it will also allow them to change file
permissions, and so to remove rights to other users.
In my opinion, if you want such kind of partition, the easier solution
is to use a partition system which does not have the user right feature.
The first one which comes to my mind, is the FAT family. Since you
seems to use ext2, you anyway do not have the log feature ( the thing
which avoid corrupted files in case of a problem ) so I only see the
drawback of file names not doing difference between uppercase and
lowercase characters.
But, still IMO, this one is more a drawback of ext* partition tables
than of FAT, since it is not really natural for me and people I know to
differentiate words by the case of their letters*. On the other hand,
since you spoke about icons and graphical stuff, I bet that your users
are not console users, so they won't be that annoyed.
*: and if someone have any clue to allow my terminal to stop bothering
me with that damned case difference in file names, I would really be
grateful to know it. For now, I simply stop using case when naming
files, but it is less readable and is not applicable to other people's
files...
