Hi,
I finally switched from SuSE 9.1 to Debian Sarge on my laptop. Almost everything works fine, except of a few issues.
I am using thunderbird as a mail client, since - among other reasons - I can use it under windows and linux, and still use the same data. I stored all my mail data on a fat32-partition, which I can access from windows, of course, and which I used to be able to access from SuSe, too. Now I wanted to mount it in Debian, but somehow it does not work the way I want it to work.
As root, I first set up a directory /windows/d and then did a "chmod 777 /windows/d". Then I added the following lines to /etc/fstab:
Code:
/dev/hda2 /windows/d vfat defaults 0 0
... and did a reboot. I loged in as a normal user (kde) and tried to checked, whether the mounting worked. When I try to "cd" to /windows/d, unfortunatelly it tells me:
Code:
bash: cd: d: no authorization
Then I tried to umount and mount it again, but then it says:
Code:
umount: only root can unmount /dev/hda2 from /windows/d
When I switch to root again, it is no problem to "cd" to it, to mount or unmount it, but afterwards as a normal user, nothing works anymore.
Can anyone please help me to set things up properly? Thanks very much,
