You didn't mention that before, it was reasonable to assume that you were |
| 14 |
using FAT because you have a umask option in fstab, which also does not |
| 15 |
apply to ext2. |

Are you setting the permissions of the mount point with the device |
| 18 |
mounted or unmounted? When the device is mounted,the mount point assumes |
| 19 |
the ownership and permissions of the root of the device's filesystem. You |
| 20 |
need to chmod/chown it with the stick mounted. |
