Dear folks,

I hope I am not THAT stupid. I googled a couple of hours, tried douzend of
things, but I didn't figured out.

I like to have my fat32-partition which is located on a scsi-disc to be
mounted with permission for users to read/write at startup.

The problem is that my linux doesn't allow even any user access (means to
read) the partition. It has got to do something with scsi, because my
ide-partitions are configured the the same way and they work fine.

Ok, enough, blabla, let's get straight down to the facts:

System:
Ubuntu Linux (which is a derivat of Debian Sarge), Kernel 2.6.7 (I had the
same problem in original debian earlier)

mount gives the following output:
/dev/hda2 on / type unknown (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda4 on /lagerplatz type vfat (rw,uid=1000,gid=1000)
/dev/hdb1 on /spielwiese type vfat (rw,uid=1000,gid=1000)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /daten type vfat (rw)

fstab:
/dev/hda4 /lagerplatz vfat rw,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 2
/dev/hdb1 /spielwiese vfat rw,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 2
/dev/sda1 /daten vfat rw,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 2

permissions to hda / sda:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 1 2004-09-20 03:13 /dev/hda4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 2004-09-20 03:13 /dev/sda1

permission to the directory to mount /dev/hda4:
drwxr--r-- 8 tobias tobias 16384 1970-01-01 01:00 lagerplatz

permission to the directory to be mount /dev/sda1 (not mounted):
drwxr-xr-x 2 tobias tobias 4096 2004-09-19 01:12 daten

permission to the directory to be mount /dev/sda1 (if mounted):
drwxr--r-- 17 root root 8192 1970-01-01 01:00 daten

I tried to change permissions for daten after being mounted with "chown
tobias:tobias /daten/" but it didn't work. Also I tried to put a
"umask=000" in the fstab option for /dev/sda1, no effect.


Can help me somebody out?

Thanks in advance,

Tobias

Well, somehow the [ug]id mount options are being ignored. Are you sure that
/daten isn't mounted by some command in an init script before mountall.sh is
invoked?
