Locked VFAT Drive, can't Unlock
For some reason, when I tried # chmod 777 "/mnt/win_c2", it locked the drive. I can't figure out how to unlock it, either. Initially, I was trying to make it so I could access the folder as a normal user, but it went horribly wrong.

chmod does not work on a mounted vfat partition.
Add the option umask=000 to the fstab entry for read / write access by all users. |
Okay, that unlocked it, but I still can't write to it as a normal user.
|
maybe remounting partition or
try umounting the partition chmod 777 /mnt/win_c2 remount partition. |

Post the fstab entry for this partition.

Code:
/dev/hdb2 /mnt/win_c2 vfat defaults, 0 0 umask=000 |
I think the umask=000 bit should be in the options section, like this:
Code:
/dev/hdb2 /mnt/win_c2 vfat defaults,umask=000 0 0 |

Can you post the exact error?
Is this the last line in the file? If so make sure there is an end of line character. Move the cursor to the end of the line and press the enter key. |
