Thread: what does "take ownership of filesystem" mean in palimpsest


i have selected option "take ownership of filesystem" have no idea how reproduce without using palimpsest (i.e. gnu bash). palimpsest _does_not_ edit /etc/fstab (i've checked several times). ext(2,3,4) mounting option not include "...,user=felipe" , adding gives error when mounting (manually adding option, , including in /etc/fstab both give errors).

i've checked man page mke2fs(8) search 'own' or 'owner' turns nothing useful.

how take ownership of filesystem without using palimpsest?

code:
sudo chown ${user} /mountpoint/of/disk/i/want/to/own
or
code:
cd /mountpoint/of/disk/i/want/to/own  sudo chown ${user} .
this handy in case find can write arbitrary new files off / (things `touch /foo` user should fail, obviously). had happen once accident after mounting disk in machine. must have chown'd mount grab files it. oops.

also, don't -r, not want that. on /.
