Yes, that is what I want it to do. |

Originally my 1Mb stick with dos partition had 978Mb on it. |
| 12 |
I've partitioned it to Linux partition and formated as ext2, the free |
| 13 |
disk space went down to 913Mb |
| 14 |
So I went back to DOS partition and (with Linux fdisk it is option "t") |
| 15 |
and my usb disk space went up to 977Mb |
| 16 |
Harm Geerts is right (thanks) "umask=0077" does what I need with dos |
| 17 |
partition, when mounted, usb stick has a permission 700. |
| 18 |
What would be an alternative for ext2 file system, umask doesn't work. |
