I have added a 160G hbd to my system.
[root@pacman mnt]# fdisk /dev/hdb
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders

/dev/hdb1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/hdb2 14 19457 156183930 83 Linux
---------------------
As /dev/hdb2 it has 777 privileges.
[root@pacman dev]# ls -la /dev/hdb2
brwxrwxrwx 1 root disk 3, 66 Sep 15 18:26 /dev/hdb2 <===
------------------
Mounted as /mnt/HDB2 it also shows 777 privileges.
[root@pacman mnt]# ls -l
total 146
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 30 22:04 150G

drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 Sep 15 21:25 HDB2 <===
------------------
But I can not make a ordinary directory on it.
What am I not doing?
[root@pacman mnt]# ls -la /mnt/HDB2

drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 Sep 15 21:25 .
