I want this to move my /tmp to another partition to make use of an un-used
partition(small one). I know it will break things if I just do it blindly. I
want this partition to be mounted during boot so that all daemons/programs
by other uses use this partion as /tmp.
Your method of using uid=??? is not supported by options for ext2 (see man
page and also try doing it practically) See below
***********************************************
[root@dxr ~]# mount /dev/hdh3 /t -o noatime,uid=0,gid=0,umask=000
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdh3,
or too many mounted file systems
[root@dxr ~]# mount /dev/hdh3 /t -o noatime,uid=0,gid=0
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdh3,
or too many mounted file systems
[root@dxr ~]# mount /dev/hdh3 /t -o noatime,uid=0
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdh3,
or too many mounted file systems
[root@dxr ~]# mount /dev/hdh3 /t -o noatime
***********************************************
The last command actually mounted it, and did not complain. so clearly those
extra options are not supported.
