Re: Fstab and JFS

Further research of mine has uncovered that JFS doesn't have support
for such things as umask, users, user, uid, gid when mounting it. Please
correct me if I'm wrong.

Using a line like
sudo mount -t jfs -o rw,user /dev/hda5 /server
DOESN'T WORK

sudo mount -t jfs -o rw /dev/hda5 /server
Does work, but only superuser has write permissions. What gives?

I tried user and it gave me the following error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda5,
missing codepage or other error

Try "user" not "users"
