Re: Problem adding lines to /etc/fstab

This is the first time I've heard of this "solution" named "User Private Groups".

Reading the RedHat and Debian doc referred to, "User Private Groups" seems to be another name for setting the umask and the setgid bit in a directory intended for shared work. Did I miss something or is that all it is?

If you want classic Unix permissions on a file system on a fixed partition
on a non-removable device, then you simply put the device into /etc/fstab
with DEFAULT mount options.  None of this crazy "user" or "users" option
stuff, since it's not a thing users are going to mount and unmount.

Then, inside the mounted file system, you use chown and chgrp and chmod.
