Hi, we have a NeXT Station 68040 with 200M int drive. We bought
a Maxtor LXT340 (340MB) and connected it to the external SCSI
port. The disk was recognized and initialized (using the popup
window) fine. We labeled the drive "ext" and disk was mounted
as /ext.
PROBLEM: Now whoever logs in becomes the "owner" of /ext. We created
an /etc/fstab entry for the external disk to restrict the file access.
(Refer p.169 in Network and System Administration manual.)
The /etc/fstab looked as follows:
/dev/sd0a / 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1
/dev/sd1a /ext 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1
When we reboot the NeXT however it doesn't mount /ext at all. We even
added an entry in the netinfo database using niload. Still the same
problem.
Could you please let me know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.
