ext3.  Kubuntu 9.04, using KDE 4.

The permissions are 755, which should
allow me to reach any file. And I changed
the owner to myself.

What I just discovered is that if I use
the external file system name, and the
name of an HTML file, that comes up,
even while I don't see a directory for the
file system.

i.e.,  /disk2 shows nothing, but /disk2/aaa.html
shows the file contents.......
