Hello,
I'm trying to make a bridge between my windows and my arch, so I created a fat32 partition for them to share. I'm trying to make it boot when the system start so I made this entry to the fstab:
/dev/sda3 /home/usrnm/data vfat defaults 0 0
It boots like it's supposed to, but I have no write permission in ~/data folder. Tried
sudo chmod 777 ~/data -R
It doesn't bring any errors but still there is no effect
This is the output from ls -la
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 16384 Jan 1 1970 data
but when I try to copy smth there I get
Error opening file '/home/usrnm/data/filename': Permission denied
Any ideas how to fix the problem ?
Thanks

check with rw and user option instead of defaults.

Changed fstab so it looks like:
/dev/sda3 /home/zevst/data vfat user,rw,auto 0 0
but nothing has changed

You should check Wiki first.

I'm not sure that your 'sudo chmod' accesses the correct mountpoint - why don't you try it with the full path
sudo chmod -R 777 /home/$USERNAME/data

umask,dmask,fmask,uid,gid
Fast and unsecure version is umask=0000
Sidenote: It's much better to use ntfs for a shared partion than vfat.
No 4gb filesize limit, somewhat more reliable, less fragmentation.
