Windows partition permissions problem

nbcjr · 2005-09-14 22:12:53

i have a fat32 partition that i use to be able to see files whenever i'm on windows or linux. my fstab is as follow:

/dev/discs/disc0/part4 /mnt/windows vfat rw,user,auto            0      0

but if i do

[nbcjr@universo ~]$ touch /mnt/windows/lin
touch: cannot touch `/mnt/windows/lin': Permission denied

what's going on?? how do i set this partition to be mounted automatically and to permit any user (or at least my main user) to write any file on it???

thanks!

thanks, whoever decided to make a new thread out of this heheh it's probably better that way.

[whisper]Yes, because otherwise it is called cross-posting and that is very bad [/whisper]

I guess my post got lost in the split.

Try adding

umask=0000

before 0 0 to be able to write.

As far as autmounting during boot, the "auto" entry which you already have should have worked.

I have a vfat partition setup like this in /etc/fstab

/dev/discs/disc0/part6 /mnt/common vfat defaults,users,umask=0,gmask=100 0 0

I put the gmask because of linuxdcpp (sharing a dir on that partition).
Oh, and

gmask=100

means "group = users" for me

Will make the files on /dev/discs/disc0/part6 be owned by <username>:users. That's how I mount my VFAT-partitions since I'm the only one using them anyway.

hi!

i also have a ntfs partition that sometimes i want to get something from. i mount it as read only, but only root has permission to acess it. i don't know how to solve this.

fstab

/dev/discs/disc0/part1 /mnt/ntfs ntfs ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0

windows is my fat partition, ntfs is the ntfs one.

[nbcjr@universo mnt]$ ls -lah

drwxr-xr-x   9 nbcjr root  32K 1969-12-31 21:00 windows

even after

[root@universo nbcjr]# chmod 755 /mnt/ntfs/
chmod: changing permissions of `/mnt/ntfs/': Read-only file system

it stays like that. thanks a lot!
