| |
Vanilla kernel 2.6.6. / is ext3, /dev is on /
I noticed when I created a symlink, the perms were not 777 like I would have expected. See below.
[root@vegeta:/dev] v cdrom ls: cdrom: No such file or directory [root@vegeta:/dev] ln -s scd0 cdrom [root@vegeta:/dev] v cdrom lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4 May 25 20:13 cdrom -> scd0 [root@vegeta:/dev] umask 0 [root@vegeta:/dev] ln -sf scd0 cdrom [root@vegeta:/dev] v cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 25 20:13 cdrom -> scd0 [root@vegeta:/dev] umask 022 [root@vegeta:/dev] uname -r 2.6.6 [root@vegeta:/dev] ln --version ln (coreutils) 5.0.91
I have another filesystem which is reiserfs; It doesn't exibit this problem.
