Cant mount with umask=000
Hi there, i've tried to create an ext2 partition in gentoo which i can use EXT2IFS drviers in windows to write to. Unfortunately, it wont let me mount it with read/write priveleges for normal users.
The mount command works without complain if the following line is inserted in the fstab document: /dev/hda10 /mnt/fatty auto user,rw As its obviosuly told it to mount read/write (rw) but only root has rights to make changes to the drive. But when i try the common umask=000 command as below: /dev/hda10 /mnt/fatty auto user,umask=000 0 0 It spits out the following: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda10, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so desg gives out: EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "umask=000" or missing value any ideas? |
umask is not a valid option for an ext2 filesystem.
Use the chmod command to change permissions for the directory to allow users to read/write. |
It's done. I managed to use "chmod -R /mnt/<mouted folder>" as su and its able to write to it.
Hope this helps anyone :) |
