  Hello Akemi, I think there is a prolem with changin permission, 
owner,groups in SL: I was doing this all my life with other linux-like 
systems and I never had any problem in particular if I was doing from 
root. I followed your procedure by unmounting, mounting, and remounting 
but it works for few minutes and later my mounted path (HD) looses its rw 
option and becomes only read-only. I tried it several times because I 
checked that now chown command shows that /scratch is read-only, so I 
unmouted, mounted, and remount as you said above, then run "chown" it 
works for a while(but before it immediately says read-only) and then 
messages saying /scratch file system are read-only. The same thing 
happened when we tried to let files from a user seen from another user by 
running: "chmod -R g+rw directory" from root but after doing this the 
second user still do not see the files even if the two users have the 
group.

  Regards, rachid .
