There are six partitions on the B drive. hdb1 is Sabayon Linux 3.0, hdb2 is sway, hdb3 is Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS, hdb4 is extented, hdb5 is SuSE Linux 10.1, hdb6 is free to use as needed. How is it possible to change the permissions for hdb6 from user:root and group:root to clay and users so that I can have access to it. I tried as root to change the permissions and had no feedback that it would not except the changes. After the change I looked at KDE's media after restarting the system and it still has the permissions as root.

I would think that the permissions are the responsibility of the
'mount'.
You may wish to refer to the man page for mount and mount as 'user'
