Re: Permissions change on mount point directory

Thanks for the reply Simon but I did try to set the permissions after I
mounted the filesystem by doing chmod 755 /u/rms but when I do and ls -ld on
the directory after doing the chmod it still shows the following:

drwxr-sr-x 16 dsd users 2560 Jun 27 07:15 /u/rms

I can't seem to get rid of the 2755 permissions. I want it to be

drwxr-xr-x 16 dsd users 2560 Jun 27 07:15 /u/rms

When you overmount something, it's gone! Anything you do with the mount
point will have no effect on the filesystem you mount on top of it.

You need to mount the filesystem before you set permissions and ownership.
