10 Yes, of course. After mounting, the directory has the permissions of the
11 _mounted_ filesystem, so you need to chown/chmod afterwards. However, that
12 only works with filesystems that know about unix permission.

17 I guess you're trying to mount some Windows filesystem. See above, they
18 don't know unix permissions.

20 You have to use the uid option when mounting, see "man mount" for details.
