[TriLUG] how to mount filesystems under my home directory

[rpjday at mindspring.com]

  before i go back and struggle with this some more, i thought i'd
ask here first.

  i've created a couple new partitions in red hat roswell, and i want
to make them user-mountable under my home directory.  (i'm playing
with vmware, and just wanted a couple 2G partitions for the guest
OS installs.)

  so, as root, i can use fdisk to create the new partitions, mke2fs
to format them and so on (same old, same old).  to make the mountable
by a regular user, i can add the "user" option in /etc/fstab.

  however, even though i can mount them as a regular user, the mount
point directories take on the owner and group of root.root, so i can't
really create anything new in those directories.  as soon as i 
unmount, the mount points go back to rpjday.rpjday.

  is there any mount/fstab option that will leave the ownership of
the mount point as me?  i've skimmed "man mount" and am about to go
back and read it more carefully, but if someone can put me out of
my misery, feel free.
