Based on responses to previous posts titled "Trivial script will

multiple problems understanding Linux file systems generally.


I imagine you have seen this lot - especially the top three??

Yes, but not in the context of a sub-project from last few days.
I suspect what I aiming at might look like - the groups and
permission bits set at time partition created, thus avoiding
games with /etc/fstab .

My current homework is to now re-read ~40 posts and a to be
determined number of referenced links. Keywords will likely
include path, working directory, inode and mount ;/

Richard - are you clear that the permissions are not for the partitions but
for the directories on the mount points on the filing system on which those
partitions have been hung??  This can be hard to grasp, but it can and does
sometimes make a difference, e.g. if the same partition or device gets
mounted somewhere else.
I'm getting the drift. It just one of things under the heading of "reality is a nuisance". There are a number of ways to tackle the problem that triggered my search. But they just ain't aesthetically pleasing. 



Being slightly older than you, Richard and coming from the pre-electronic
computer generation, I am hoping to grasp and understand the basic Unix
filing system finally some time before I keel over.  (I *think* that
electronic computers are slightly older than you are.) ;-)
It may be close, I pre-date the Harvard MarkI. I am definitely older than Linus Torvalds father ;)
