access fat32 from suse 10
Hi everyone, already few weeks ago I installed suse 10 on my desktop PC, it works fine, but, the main purpose was to be able to access fat32 partitions becouse I left there a lots of data since i had windows.Now, after looking for some answere i still can't gain access to my fat32 partitions. I tried to do $mount /dev/sda6 in command line, but it says "Permission denied", from konqueror it says : "mount: can't find /dev/sda6 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
Please check that the disk is entered correctly." I gues I need to edit manually fstab, but I don't know what to write there... Please help sorry my bad english suse 10 2.6.13-15-smp fstab: /dev/sda3 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 /dev/dvdrecorder /media/dvdrecorder subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs noauto,fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0 none /subdomain subdomainfs noauto 0 0 |
The internet is awash with information about how to mount windows drives from within linux, eg
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=123651 you can add this line to /etc/fstab Code:
/dev/sda6 /mnt/sda6 vfat noauto,user 0 0 Remember to do # mkdir /mnt/sda6 if a mounting directory for your partition does not yet exist |
here read these , the distros might b different the concept of FSTAB
remains same http://linux.org.mt/article/winmount http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/l...a-windows.html http://www.linuxjunior.org/cgi-bin/p...=Display&id=48 |
thanks a lot,IŽll try it this evening, whan be back home, thanks again!!!

something to note is that FAT32 cannot understand Unix permissions and so whe nmounting, you need to give the files a 'mask' which is basically telling it to assume certain permissions by default. This is necesary when writing and reading as users etc.
to achieve this you will need to add umask=000 to the fstab options for that mount. Again this has been covered MANY times in this forum |
ya ..... but u no ppl dont actually GOOGLE or search the form first (ME included)

ok, that what dcdbutler wrote worked, thanks, but........as all data was in russian, now averything, folders, files, are in ???????? signs, and to rename all this it's a heel....is there some solution to see it in russian? I have kde in ukrainian( I'm ukrainian) it's aulmost like russian, konqueror in ukrainian, so why folders aren't in ukrainina to?
