Subject: Re: ext2/3 on USB?

Thanks for everyone's comments. I now have a USB drive with a FAT and an
ext3 partition on it. I created them in Linux, but Windows wouldn't
recognize the FAT/vfat partition until I re-formatted it in Windows.
Worked fine after that.

One problem: I long ago learned how to diddle fstab so that any user
could mount & write to a vfat USB, but I can't seem to do it for the
ext3 partition. The mount process slams the mount point with root
owner/group and 755 permissions. I can su - & chmod it to 777 and it's
OK, but I don't think that I should have to do that. Any suggestions?

FWIW, I'm running CentOS 4 (RHEL clone), updated within the last week.
