cant access fat32 from user

kelthuzad · 04-26-2005, 09:26 AM

hello,
i have mounted a fat32 partition successfully to be used as share partition between linux and xp.
i cannot gain acceess to it from the user account :-(
only from the root (with file manager su) i can do it. so it means something with the permission is wrong.
my fstab looks like this:
/dev/hde6 /mnt/share vfat rw,auto,users 1 1

hde6 is my fat32 partition its seems ok but im a newbie
please inlight me with a solution.
thanks

Code:

/dev/hde6 /mnt/share vfat auto,owner,users,rw 0 0

try this............

also make sure that /mnt/share permissions are set to let
your user access to read/write
