Is it possible to mount as root, but give access to others?

U

Hi All:

In Linux I could mount partitions/network shares as root, but specify UID and GID as parameters and thus allow that user/group to access the mount point.
Is the same possible in FreeBSD?

Thank you!

Change the permissions after you mounted the filesystem.

I tried to use chmod +rw on the mount points, but it threw an error 'Function not implemented'.

How exactly did you try it?

Using that command was probably what I was doing wrong. After using so many chmod and chown during the day at work, I kind of eclipsed and fixated on making the mountpoint readable/writable for the regular user via mode change, where I should have done so on the devices instead and perpetuated the device mode change in the devfs.rules I think. Am I on the right track?

Not even close ;)

mount /dev/da12 /some/where
chmod 775 /some/where
chgrp mygroup /some/where

Now the owner and everybody that's a member of mygroup will be able to write in /some/where. Everybody else will get read access.

it tells me
Code: 
chmod somewhere: Function not implemented
It is a folder where I am mounting Linux partitions via ext4fsfuse

You really should have mentioned that sooner.

Does that change everything? Okay, sorry, I did not know that was significant. Is what I want possible with ext4 fuse FS?
