I kind of ran into that myself. /mnt is owned by root, so mounting user stuff to that is always problematic. My solution: mount user stuff to /home/you/mountpoint. Eg. I mount my Documents partition and my Backup partition to /home/me/Documents and /home/me/Backup. This way, I am the owner and I don't have to ???? with changing the ownership of /mnt/stuff. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
