mount vfat read/write problem
 

Hi all.....

my dev./hda look like this

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 1275 10241406 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda2 * 1276 1288 104422+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 1289 2308 8193150 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 2309 2433 1004062+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 2309 2433 1004031 82 Linux swap

I mount

mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_C

but the problem is when i want delete folders in win_C , it replies read only file system error

rm -fr test

rm: cannot remove `test': Read-only file system


any thing wrong here. why it is became a read only file system?..............


:Pengy:

Hello!
Put this in your /etc/fstab file. When you boot next time you'll have permission to write/delete as normal user.

Hope this helped!

Hi ............Boby
I insert the line to /etc/fstab

But it is still a read only file system .. I cant create any thing in /mnt/win_C
still the same error


Any idea......
My kernel is RHEL 2.2.21-4.EL

Post the contents of your /etc/fstab file here please.
