[gentoo-user] Strange problem with partition reiserfs

Hi,

I'm with a very strange problem with a partition reiserfs. When I installed
gentoo I created a partition to save my personal docs and I formatted it
with reiserfs filesystem. Today, I was wrinting a little program in python
using Kate and, accidentaly, I overwrite a file on that partition. The
strange was that Kate don't ask me for a confirmation about that. Kate just
overwrote the file. Well, I imagined that comportament was not right and I
tried to ovewrite an archive in the partition mounted under /home and Kate,
now, ask me for a confirmation. Strange... any idea?

Other thing... I would like to mount that partition such that all files
created have the same group and permission. I thought that I could use the
"umask" option, but reiserfs don't have that option, so I don't know how
could I do that... Help please...

Sorry by my english!

Thanks!

I don't think umask would do what you want anyway. AFAIK, umask is
used to set the mounting permissions for filesystems that do not
support permissions/users, such as the FAT family, HPFS, NTFS, UDF...

ext2/3 allows the option of grpid which can be used to set the default
group of newly created file, but I don't think such is available with
reiserfs. 

A (poor?!) work around is to set your umask and group id via the
'umask' and 'newgrp' or 'sg' commands in your shell profile...

Are you sure you were working as the same user? not as root or something? 
Could have been different user settings.

Have you tried again to see if it's reproducible? i.e. if every time you 
overwrite on that partition kate doesn't ask confirm and every time you 
overwrite on /home it asks?

Anyway it seems more a Kate bug than a filesystem thing...

Yes, I'm sure. As a same user I repeated that many times on different
partitions and just in that Kate doesn't ask me for a confirmation. Well...
With gedit I don't have this problem. gedit ask me for a confirmation. But I
would like to use Kate. I suppose that I have to agree about a but in Kate.

About the other question. Any answear?

Thanks!
