Hello i have a problem with my partition. i have a fat32 that i want to mount in fedora. i can mount it well the problem is that i have full access as root only. but as another user i dont have write access. can anybody help?
i need it as fat because i have windows and linux and i need to access that partition from both OS's.
hmm...if you use devfs, I don't know (try to edit the read/write permissions of the device file or something?), but what I've heard of the Udev thing, it ought to grant you access if you change the permissions on your harddisk's dev file (and when you reboot, the permissions _should_ be saved). also, remember to mount the fat-partition with the rw-option among others...I really don't know if this works, since Udev has disappointed me in many ways - I've understood it does some nice things but it hasn't (and yet nobody has told me why, except that "it's under development"). well, neither does devfs always..
check your either fdisk or cfdisk about position of FAT32 Partition. It can be /dev/hda2 or hda3 or hde1 and so on
"xxx" relates to your custom settings. "Directory" for example can be mounted as /Win or
/Storage or any other location
"username" - it's your username on *nix system
{Sigh}
Open terminal and type
#su
enter password for root
#mc
Navigate your Midnight Commander to /etc/fstab
When fstab file is selected first press F3 to view it.
If you want to edit file press F4
When done editing press F2 to save and F10 to exit
In that case the part "uid="username"" should look "uid=users"
Try this.
If does not work for some reason then
as root
#chmod 666 /dev/hd"your partition"
with "users" means all users from "workgroup"?
/dev/hda2 /"Directory2" vfat uid=users,gid=root,rw 1 1
/dev/hda3 /"Directory3" vfat uid=users,gid=root,rw 1 1
this is the final command right?
and this will allow any user from "workgroup" to rws, am i right?
