I have the following line in my /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 /storage/backup vfat rw,noauto,user 0 0 Before mounting /storage/backup, I can cd into it just fine as a normal user. However, after /storage/backup is mounted, and I try to cd into it, I get: "-bash: cd: /storage/backup: Permission denied" I've read the fstab(5) man page, and checked everything I could think of, but still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. The permissions on /storage/backup are: drwxrwx--- 2 partimag storage 4096 Dec 6 10:59 /storage/backup/ which is fine. However, after /storage/backup gets mounted, the permissions get changed to: drwxr--r-- 2 root root 16384 Dec 31 1969 /storage/backup/ Obviously, the permission change is what is preventing me from switching into that directory, but I can't figure out why they're being changed in the first place. If someone could please enlighten me as to what the problem is, I would appreciate it.
