File / Folders Permissions

[Amichai Rotman]

Hi All,

I would like to make a folder visible only to it's owner, more specifically:


I dedicated a whole ext3 partition for my music. The 'lost+fond' folder was
ceated and, of course, only root can get in there...

Is there a way to make this folder show up only if I ls or browse it as
root?

Also, somewhat related, I think there's a problem with creating ext3
partitions since the update to the new lowlatency kernel:

This is what I've done:

Copied the data to another partition
Deleted the partition (using: Gnome Partition Editor, fdisk and cfdisk -
same results)
Rebooted the machine
Created a new type 83 (Linux) Primary partition starting with block 1 and
ebding with the last block - 9729 (whole size of the HDD: 80Gb)
Rebooted the machine
Formatted the new partition with 'mkfs.ext3 /ded/sdb1
All without errors
Mounted the partition
df -h showed 74Gb total, 180M (?!) used and 70Gb remaining...

I had the same problem with another 80Gb HDD I recently put in the computer
(now I have 3 HDDs and 1 DVD-RW Drive)
I eventually re-formated the other HDD to RaierFS and after twice rebooting,
it got fixed on it's own, can say why and how...
I asked the list but no one answered.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
