VFAT not available to users
I insstalle SUSE 10.0 on a variety of partitions with various filesystems as required by Linux:
--/ on ReiserFS --/boot on EXT3, because installer refused to put /boot in ReiserFS --/root on ReiserFS --/swap on SwapFS etc., etc. Additionally, I created and formated one VFAT partition with the intention of giving it to all the users of the system for their " ~ " directory. I mounted said VFAT partition onto "/fat_home". RESULT: "root" shows as the owner of "/fat_home", and "root" is also the group to which "/fat_home" belongs. I tried "chown" and "chgrp" commands to change the owner and group to "users" while loged in as "root", AND while "root" is also a member of the group "users", but the system refuses to change ownership and group for "/fat_home". --What's the problem? --How do I give my users access to VFAT "/fat_home" from their own login, without the users needing to use "su"? I want my users to have their home and all their directories and files in that VFAT partition mounted on "/fat_home". Thanks for your help. |
what does your /etc/fstab say ?
change default to users in fstab |
Add umask=000 to the fstab line for the partition.
Example: Code:
/dev/hdk10 /sharevfat vfat umask=000,users,auto,owner,rw,dirsync 0 0 |
