I need to mount them in such a way that all the files created on those partitions would always bear a umask which is different from the umask globally set in /etc/profile. How do I achieve this? I tried mounting the partition with umask=whatever option, but apparently, according to man mount, umask option isn't available for ext3. Temporarily, I've put a little code into /etc/conf.d/local.start that checks if the the partitions are mounted and if they are, chmod's them. This, I don't think will be a good idea, once data starts filling up the partition.... Help would be really appreciated. Thanks, Mrugesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
