How to mount LVM Volumes with myself as owner in fstab

I have two LVM volumes that I'm trying to add to /etc/fstab. I am able to make it work with defaults option, but with that I end up with the mounts being owned by root. I want to mount them so that I'm the owner and don't have to use sudo anytime I'm changing them.



If I try to add uid and gid flags to the fstab entries, I get the following error:



mount: /home/hooda/code: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/vg_kdata-kcode, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.


Here are the contents of my /etc/fstab file (note that I already use similar options for regular Windows NTFS volumes, and those are working as expected)



# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

          FWIW, I removed the uid and gid options for the LVM volumes, then I tried to do chown on the mount points:



          sudo chown -R hooda:hooda /home/hooda/code


          And so far it seems to be working across mounts.
          Though I'm sure there's a better way to do it. Good enough for me though.

            That is how you do it. uid ang gid is for fat/ntfs . use the user or users option in fstab to allow users (rather than just root) to mount / unmount

            see manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man5/fstab.5.html and help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab . For file system specific options see linux.die.net/man/8/mount . It is a long page, scroll down, there are "Filesystem Independent Mount Options" and then "Filesystem Specific Mount Options" by file system (ext2/3/4 , vfat, ntfs, etc). You can use those mount options in the fstab options field per file system
