It's a reiserfs file system, it has Unix owners and permissions. It doe snot |
| 19 |
matter how you mount it, those permissions will be used. If the user does not |
| 20 |
have permissions, then they can't use it. Same as / |

By your post I can see you are confused with vfat and ntfs. Not being Unix |
| 23 |
filesystems, the kernel has to fudge something to use, and you can make them |
| 24 |
whatever you want. |

Stop fooling around with fstab and mount options. |

The commands you want are chown and chmod |
