vfat partition user permissions
 

I know this has been talked about (numerous times) before, but for some reason, even though i seem to have my permissions set right, i cant write to my vfat partition, unless i log in as root...

This is my permissions section of the fstab file:
auto,user,umask=000 0 0

As far as i know, this should allow all users to read/write, but for some reason it doesnt.

What am i doing wrong?

Re: vfat partition user permissions
 

i think "user" should be "users" i.e.

auto,users,umask=000 0 0

well... even though i had same permissions on a former vfat partitions and it worked, i tried correcting it same way you suggested and it still didn work...

Any ideas?

I dont know, maybe itś a bug, but for some reason - changing it to

auto,defaults,umask=000 0 0

finally got it to mount (with user permissions) , after getting tons of -wrong fs type- errors, etc...

As long as it works :)
