Forcing VFAT mounts to shut up???

shassouneh · 04-26-2003, 10:57 PM

Hi All,
How can I edit the /etc/fstab so that I can disable the VFAT warning when copying/moving files to a VFAT mounted partition? As we all know VFAT does not have built in permissions, so every time a file is copied or moved to a VFAT partition KDE warns "could not change permissions for....".

My question is how do i edit my fstab file to disable these annoying messages?

Thanx

look in the konqurer options.

I would, although this problem also exists in the shell because it has to do with the file system. I have done this before but I forgot.
Can someone please let me know how to edit the fstab file to disable permission warnings?

It must be a SUSE problem. I don't have that problem in Mandrake. I'm not sure if you can change the options of the filesystem module.

No. I had this problem for WITH mandrake. It has to do with how the fstab file looks like. Could you post your /etc/fstab so I can compare it with mine?

Do you have umask=000 in your options for the fat32 partition (in fstab)?

nah, you want the "quiet" option logically enough. supresses errors about not being able to set file permissions

i have umask=0000 (four zeros)

Also, should I just tap the "quiet" at the very end? like:

device mount point umask=0000,quiet

???
