Hi.
 I am trying to burn some of the data from my home directory to cd. However,
I have noticed that after burning the files, if I list them(using ls), the
ownership is shown as root root :(
 My /etc/fstab reads something like this(my user and group id are both 501):

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda11 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0
0
/dev/hda6 /mnt/win_d vfat user,rw,exec,uid=501 0 0
/dev/hda7 /mnt/win_e vfat user,rw,exec,uid=501 0 0
/dev/hda8 /mnt/win_f vfat user,rw,exec,uid=501 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660
noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

Can anyone suggest how to preserve the ownerships? I use RH 9.0.

thanks,
amit.
