RE: Mounting an ext2 filesystem at mount point with specific uid, gid

The permissions and user/group ids are stored on the ext2 partition.

As always ;-)

The fact that the ount point has one set of those before, and another after mount can be a bit confusing.

To clarify :

After mount, the root of the filesytem on /dev/hda1 becomes /home/storage/store.

The original /home/storage/store directory is hidden until hda1 is umounted.

Hello,

I'm using debian 4.0r1. I have an ext2 partition at /dev/hda1 and want to mount
it at /home/storage/store. The /etc/fstab record I use is as follows:

/dev/hda1 /home/storage/store ext2 defaults 0 4

Before I mount it, the command "ls -al /home/storage" yields:

drwxr-xr-x 2 storage storage 4096 2007-09-19 17:42 store

Which is of course empty. After the mount, which is successfull, the command "ls -al /home/storage" yields:

drwxrwsr-x 10 505 505 4096 2007-09-21 16:03 store

It seems that system assigns the directory hierarchy under 'store' to an unknown user/groupid, for security purposes I suppose. But I want it to assign it to user 'storage' & group 'storage'

How can I do that?

Although it seems a very basic administrative task, I haven't found a way to do it.

I would greatly appreciate any help
