[SOLVED] Little Advice with ACL

[drakeman007]

Hello, im studyin with my ebook and im in a part that talks about acls, and how to enable, it say that i have to add the acl option to the /etc/fstab something like this

/dev/hda6 /home ext3 rw,auto,acl 0 1

, but in my fstab file i dont see anything with /home, i have a problem with my fstab file? should i have mounted a /home line?

thanks.

having a /home partition is optional. i guess in your ebook the /home partition is just an example...

yes.

[drakeman007]

yes.

Thanks but where, like that?

dev/sda1
UUID=afb54b36-e2fd-49b4-b335-4f4761596bc6 /               ext3    relatime,errors=remount-ro, acl 0

??? and then it says that i have to remount again, to remount my main partition i have to restart just the gui or all the system?

[dracayr]

your system. but first, make sure you still have that 1 included at the end of the line (in your recent post, you seem to have forgotten it)

acl is an option. They are stated and separated with a comma, not the way you wrote. This is an example from my fstab, on one of my partitions:

UUID=f9816ed4-9398-4d7a-a20a-89ac8249e496	/home/shared	ext3	acl,user,rw	0	2

I would strongly recommend that you try this first with another partition, not root, at least not until you got it right. Messing with the root partition in fstab and then re-booting might give rise to unexpected behavior...
