Unable to read mounted drive

[squeegy]

Just noticed that I could access the cdrom drive as squeegy when it was mounted, trying to find any similarities.

this is what it looks like when hda1 IS mounted. and hdb1 is not. It contains the correct mode or whatever, so that other users can read it. Then as soon as I mount the drive it looks like this.

As you can see the drives that are mounted lose their access permissions ? But like I said the cdrom is readable by squeegy when mounted.

alright now I have added the line umask=555 which when i mount the drive it now comes up with these permissions.

squeegy@mars:/mnt$ ls -la

I just think it needs a little more tweaking and it'll be there. What umask should i use ?

alright i finally got it to work, had to add uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=555 and it works now. thanks for all the suggestions.
