Fat32 permission
I'm having problems saving stuff to my fat32 drive from my user name. I know its a permission problem but Icna't figure out how to fix it. I tried
chown -R user file it gives me about a thousand variants of this message chown: changing ownership of `/mnt/dos/Shared/ECDC Engine/uninst.isu': Operation not permitted the only thing that changes in the response is the filename that its trying ot change the permission of. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?? |
It is not about permissions, but how you mount your vfat partition.
Here is an entry for a windows partition in my /etc/fstab: /dev/hdb9 /mnt/gordo vfat auto,users,utf8,shortname=mixed,umask=0,suid 0 0 All users have write access. Run 'man mount' to learn about these options. |
You could try this in /etc/fstab if you have no luck - make sure you substitue you're partition name and mount point in.
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=000,defaults 0 0 |
