Question chmod FAT32 partition


Hello!

I use a FAT32 partition for sharing between Linux and Windows. The problem is that I can not write on it as a normal user. As root I've tried "chmod -R 777 /windows", but the permissions I get are "drwxr-xr-x". Using the same command I can change permisions of other folders, just the partition doesnt work.

I'm running Debian Etch with Kernel 2.6.15-1-486.

The FAT32 partition is 62 GB big, don't know if this could be also a problem as I can normaly read and as root it is also posible to write on it.

Has someone got any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you in advance,

Gabriel

Try adding umask=000 to the options column of your /etc/fstab entry.
