Access HDB1 for users
Last night I was attempting to figure out how to allow my user account full access to hdb1. During setup I had the installer setup hdb1 in /hdb1 (keep in mind it's formatted as FAT32 no OS installed just used as storage). I logged in as root and tried (not in any particular order):
1 $chmod 777 /hdb1 2 $chmod -R 777 /hdb1 3 $chmod -R -c 777 /hdb1 4 $chmod -R -c ugo+rwx /hdb1 5 $chmod -R -c ugo=rwx /hdb1 6 $chgrp users /hdb1 None of this worked, when I used $chmod -R 777 /hdb1 is went through all files and said that it worked however when I ran ls -l it showed this: drwxr--r-- /hdb1 So I tried $chmod -R -c 777 /hdb1 and this said that that action was not permitted. Everytime I tried the chmod 1 & 2 it said it ran but it didn't do anything. 3-5 said that this action is not permitted. Any suggestions? |
Yoiu could try putting your user id number ie uid=........ and umask=000 in the 4th field (options) of the relevant entry in /etc/fstab - something like:
/dev/hdb1 /hdb1 vfat umask=000,defaults,uid=501 0 0[/b] substitute in your uid number in place of my example uid=501 |
What command do I use to figure out what my uid is?
|
Open a console and type:
id username (substitute username with whatever your username is) Look for the uid=xxx |
also try:
man fstab helped me no end. [no sarcasm intended:~] |
