Re: rename one file

To overcome this on my wife's dual booted system I mount the filesystem so that her username owns the complete filesystem.  To do so:

In /etc/fstab:
$DEVICE               $MOUNT_POINT                    $FS_TYPE    uid=$UID,gid=$GID 1 2
  - replacing:
    - $DEVICE with the actual device name
    - $MOUNT_POINT with the actual mount point
    - $FS_TYPE with the actual filesystem type
    - $UID with the actual UID of the user you want to own all files, etc. on the filesystem
    - $GID with the actual GID of the group you want to own all files, etc. on the filesystem
  EXAMPLE:
    /dev/hdd1               /fs1                    vfat    uid=251,gid=251     1     2

Then just mount it.  It will be remounted upon each reboot.

Indeed. It was on a Fat32 disk that I was trying to do this (it's a
shared disk).

Hmm... so once again I have to wade through the incomprehensible man
pages for mount.

I'm about ready to give up trying to learn on my own and take a
frigging linux course. :-(
