Hi. (i know ive asked this before, but i cant find that thread)

Im wanting to add a 120GB hard drive (/dev/hdd) as a second drive and mount it so that only one user can read or write to it (as well as root).

First thing i did was

mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdd

then made the mountpoint

/home/me/stuff

and added

/dev/hdd /home/me/stuff ext3 defaults 1 2

to fstab.

Im not sure if this is the right way to do this. Is it ok to use /dev/hdd or do i have to (somehow) make /dev/hdd1? I have managed to get it to mount, but only root can write to the directory, even though the directory was made by the user.

Any help would be great. Thanks
