[SOLVED] Permissions in /mnt for raid5

Hi smile So I just bought this microserver and yesterday I set up a 3 drive raid5 and mounted it at /mnt/raid5. However, as I'm quite new to linux I'm not sure if this is the right place to mount it. I want other users to be able to read/write to the dir so /mnt is the right place right? Then comes to thing with permissions. Atm I'm not able to write to the drive - how do I change that? Do I chmod on the dir or change settings in fstab?

#the raid in fstab

/dev/md0   /mnt/raid5   ext4   rw,noatime   0 0

Thanks smile

Re: [SOLVED] Permissions in /mnt for raid5

This is indeed a question for the newbie-section. If anybody else stumbles upon this question I have chosen the following solution. NB I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this.

First i created a new usergroup called "raid"

groupadd raid

Then added my user to the group

gpasswd -a user raid

then I set the ownership of the dir

chown raid /mnt/raid5/stuff/

Then assigning the right permissions

chmod 770 /mnt/raid5/stuff

Now only the group "raid" has permission to read/write/execute.

Thats it.
