vfat volume won't allow date to be set
Hi.
I am using Mandrake Linux 9.2 on a system that dual-boots with W98. I am mounting a Fat32 volume that is read/write in both OS's. When I copy a file from anywhere to the /mnt/win_d partition, the date gets set to the current date & time. This same unwanted behavior happens in the Konqueror file manager, with cp -a, and with tar. I would like it to preserve the original date & time. Here's the line from /etc/fstab: /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0 How can I get it to preserve the date and time? Also (lower priority question), is this the best iocharset and codepage for compatibility with Windows in the United States? Thanks, - TSloth |
cp --preserve=timestamps

:(
Didn't work: $ cp --preserve=timestamps test.doc /mnt/win_d/ cp: preserving times for `/mnt/win_d/test.doc': Operation not permitted Should I have something different in /etc/fstab? - TSloth |
