how to enable write support for fat32 patitions for normal users in FC4
I want to enable write support for fat32 partitions for normal users in FC4, as all my common files are stored there. I dont want to login as root every time i want to add data. I tried chmod and logging as root and then modifying permissions, but it didnt work.
Can you help me out? Thanx in advance! bye... |

You cannot change permissions for a mount point while something is mounted on it. umount the fat32 partition, use chmod to set the new permissions, and mount the fat32 partition again. ------------------------------ Steve Stites |
These instructions are for Ubuntu, but they should work for Fedora as well, too:
