fstab and windows partitions

fedetxf · 12-27-2003, 10:30 AM

I have 2 windows partitions. I have specified this fstab file

Code:

LABEL=/                 /                  ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot              ext3    defaults        1 2
none                    /dev/pts           devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /proc              proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm           tmpfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/hda8               swap               swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/hda1               /mnt/winc          vfat    ro,user         0 0
/dev/hda5               /mnt/wind          vfat rw,user,gid=500,setgid=500,mode=764 0 0
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom         udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1             /mnt/cdrom1        udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy        auto    noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

I ceated the group with gid 500 and I have my user in the group.
If I check the permissions from nautilus I see that /mnt/wind is in tat group and not in the root group. The owner still is root, and I don't want to change that.
How do I change the mode so my user (not root) can read and write all files inside that filesystem?
I want
owner: rwx
group:rw-
other:r--

Any other suggestion about this setup is welcome

change the line to read..........

Code:

/dev/hda5      /mnt/wind      vfat    rw,users,gid=500,setgid=500,mode=764 0 0

Doesn't do the trick....
Here's what I have:

Code:

[fede@localhost fede]$ cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1

none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0

/dev/hda1 /mnt/winc vfat ro,user 0 0

You could try this :

Code:

/dev/hda1      /mnt/winc     vfat    umask=016,gid=500    0 0

I believe this should do what you need it to.

I may be wrong on the numbers so try:

man umask

Let me know if it works, I am not on my Linux box, so I couldn't be absolutely sure about the numbers.

umask kinda works backwards, (eg: 016 is the same as 761)

Try JayCnrs option.

As soon as I get home, I will.

Well, after 10 reboots, I got it working. In the process I learned it does not make sense to remove the execute permission, doing it makes it impossible to do an ls or a cd and nautilus goes crazy and can list the contents prperly.
Here's the fin al version

/dev/hda5 /mnt/wind vfat rw,user,suid,umask=002,gid=500 0 0
and the result
drwxrwxr-x 10 root windaccess 16384 Dec 31 1969 wind
As my user is in the group, I can r and w it. Other users can read it. nice. Thanks.

EDIT: i just noticed, why does it have that timestamp????? Looks weird.....
