hate to keep on bothering you with questions like these, but I have tried every option I can think of in the mount command and in fstab, to try to mount an ext2 loopfile in such a way that any user can create files on it.

But even though as root I can create files and write to the loop device, and as ordinary user I can mount it if it has an entry in fstab, I cannot figure out how to get it so that an ordinary user can create and write to files on the loop.  It is as though it is read-only to all but root.

blblblblblblblblblbl....

I read man mount(8)

Never mind, I figured out how to chmod the thing.
