To overcome this on my wife's dual booted system I mount the filesystem so that her username owns the complete filesystem. To do so:<BR>
<BR>
In /etc/fstab:<BR>
$DEVICE $MOUNT_POINT $FS_TYPE uid=$UID,gid=$GID 1 2<BR>
- replacing:<BR>
- $DEVICE with the actual device name<BR>
- $MOUNT_POINT with the actual mount point<BR>
- $FS_TYPE with the actual filesystem type<BR>
- $UID with the actual UID of the user you want to own all files, etc. on the filesystem<BR>
- $GID with the actual GID of the group you want to own all files, etc. on the filesystem<BR>
EXAMPLE:<BR>
/dev/hdd1 /fs1 vfat uid=251,gid=251 1 2<BR>
<BR>
Then just mount it. It will be remounted upon each reboot.<BR>
<BR>

Indeed. It was on a Fat32 disk that I was trying to do this (it's a
shared disk).
Hmm... so once again I have to wade through the incomprehensible man
pages for mount.
I'm about ready to give up trying to learn on my own and take a
frigging linux course. :-(
