For e.g. Ubuntu Precise it's Evolution 3.2.3 and for e.g. Ubuntu Quantal it's Evolution 3.6.0. I'm doing it by a link: root@precise:~# ls -l /home/spinymouse/.local/share/evolution lrwxrwxrwx 1 spinymouse spinymouse 58 Apr 28 2012 mail -> /mnt/archlinux/home/spinymouse/.local/share/evolution/mail I would like to share it with Evolution from my FreeBSD install, but there's an issue regarding to permissions. For FreeBSD I don't have control about the permissions of the mounted Linux ext3 partitions. I get: root@freebsd:/usr/home/rocketmouse # ls -l /mnt drwxrwx--- 21 1000 1000 4096 Oct 28 19:11 archlinux drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 4096 Jan 20 20:09 dump The user is able to access /dump, but only /root can access /archlinux. The uid of the FreeBSD user is 1001. I wonder why for /archlinux I get rwxrwx--- and for /dump rwxrwxrwx, those permissions, user and group will be changed automatically. Regards, Ralf
