Axel Zinser writes > I just connect my old 105-MB hard disk as a second disk to my NeXTstation. [...] > I recognized that the ownership of all files had been changed This belongs on comp.sys.next.sysadmin, so I've set the net news header line "Followup-To:" accordingly. you need to have an entry in the file called /etc/fstab for both drives, otherwise the automounter resets ownership of files on drives that are not the boot drive. This happens when you log in (right?). Put a second line into /etc/fstab like this: /dev/sd1a /OldDrive 4.3 rw, noquota 1 2 To learn more about this, launch Digital Librarian and search the UNIX man pages for fstab and mount and umount and don't forget the command "mount -p" for those times when you can't remember the syntax of the lines you have to put in /etc/fstab!. By the way, before you diddle with /etc/fstab, since you'll have to log in as root, make a copy of /etc/fstab first (call it something like fstab.original) and then edit /etc/fstab. Good luck chuck
