added 3rd HD, access rights problem
Hello,
Here is my setup: IDE 1 HD1 2.5 gb (Master) IDE 1 HD2 3.5 GB (Slave) IDE 2 CDROM (Master) IDE 2 HD3 3GB (Slave) I am using the latest version of JAMD (based on RedHat). My issue is with HD3 which I named HDD. I added the drive via the salve connector on the IDE cable. I also did this as root: mkdir /mnt/hdd1 mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdd1 and then added the following line to the /etc/fstab file: /dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdd1 vfat defaults,gid=100,umask=0007 0 0 I can now set up a desktop icon for the drive and it shows it is mounted when I reboot but when I click on it it say something to the effect of "you do not have access rights to this location" (loged in as a regular user). If I use the console and go to the directory as root I can see the contents. What did I do wrong or forget to configure? I am brand new to Linux with Windows exp since 3.1 and I must say this stuff seems much more difficult than Windows (at least setting up the new drive). You help would be appreciated. |
Change umask=0007 to umask=000. This will allow anyone to read / write. Its negative logic 0= true so 007 would prohibit users not allow.

Thanks for the advice! Quick as well :-)
I will make the change tonight and see what happens.:) |
