Readonly drives
I have 2 60Gb drives, both were formatted to NTFS. I partitioned the first for linux and WinXP. That worked fine. The second I created a small 1Gb win/linux transfer area, formatted to FAT32.
It is /dev/hdb5 in linux. I use the line /dev/hdb5 /mnt/gdrive vfat defaults 0 0 in /etc/fstab. I've tried to chmod and chown the /mnt/gdrive as root to my user but nothing will let me change the read only state. I know fine well it's something extremely simple that I've forgotton or mistyped but I can't figure out what. Thanks in advance, Andy@DP |
Try this:
/dev/hdb5 /mnt/gdrive vfat defaults,umask=000 0 0 |
