Accessing my FAT32 through Linux?
 

I feel stupid asking this, because I did this before. I want to access my FAT32 partition through Linux, so I can share my music between it and Windows.

I spent a lot of time looking all over, and couldn't find anything. Any help would be appreciated. I am using Red Hat 9.

Thanks!

recompile your kernel with fat32 suport

Don't tell me Red Had doesn't support FAT32 by default, now.
Ummm, so long as it does, you should be able to:
fdisk -l
(Will show you the device name of your FAT32 partition)
mount /dev/your_device_name /mnt/your_mount_point
(Use the device name from the fdisk command. You may need to create a mount point. Such as "mkdir /mnt/windows" or such)
Use the "umount /mnt/your_mount_point" to unmount the partition.
Good Luck.

......... and for the corresponding /etc/fstab entry:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=000,defaults 0 0

substitute in the correct device name of the partition and your mount point name.

A good way is give full access to a certain group. In this example the 3rd partition is a win drive. I give full access to group "win". non-win people will have no access to fat drive.

/dev/hda3 /win vfat defaults,umask=007,uid=root,gid=win 0 0

Thanks! I will try those out tonight!
