ext2fs permission problem

lemrey

im trying to mount an ext2 partition, so that a user can r/w to it.
mouting goes fine, but the user can't access to the mounted partition.

Code: 
lemrey ~ $ ls -all /dev/ad1*                                                              
crw-rw-r--  1 root  operator    0, 102 May 17 19:23 /dev/ad10
crw-rw-r--  1 root  operator    0, 109 May 17 19:23 /dev/ad10s1

the mountpoint '/home/lemrey/data' has the following attributes.
Code: 
drw-rw-r--   2 lemrey  operator        512 May 17 21:34 data
/dev/ad10s1 is the partition im mounting, like this (as root)
# mount -t ext2fs /dev/ad10s1 /home/lemrey/data

lemrey is in group 'operator'.

as soon as the partition is mounted, while i can browse it fine as root,
the user has some problem 'cd: /home/lemrey/data: Permission denied'

i also noticed the mountpoint's attributes are changed:
Code: 
drw-rw-r--   8 lemrey  lemrey       4096 Mar  8 15:23 data

im running 8.0-RELEASE on amd64
any ideas?? :q
 
Code: 
# pkg_add -r e2fsprogs
# rehash
# tune2fs -l /dev/ad10s1

What does INODE SIZE says?

Stock FreeBSD is able to mount ext2 with 128 inode size, there are patches to increase that to 256 inode size support.
 
Inode size is 256, but i repeat, the drive gets mounted
i can read/write anything to it as root, why i can't as a normal user?
also the mountpoint attributes gets changed and i believe it's not normal :/
i used to browse this drive in a previous installation under a low-rights user...
 
I was about to ask why the mountpoint appears to be a file (no execute bits).

Click to expand...
The user needs the execute bit set to be able to browse a directory.
