Re: Permissions on a Mounted drive

Matthias,

Be sure that your mount command looks something like:

mount -t vfat -o user,rw,exec,umask=000 /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosdrive

Also, you may need to change permissions on the mount point.

You may also want to check the archives for the list. There're probably other questions/answers about this.

hello,

I have a system set up with 2 operating systems: windows XP and Linux Fedora Core 3. I have a third logical partition that I want to use on both partitions as it can come in handy to use certain files like jpegs on both operating systems.

I have succeeded in configuring fstab to mount the drive at startup under /mnt/exchange but the problem is that I can only write on the drive when logged in as root. I have tried to change the permissions using CHMOD but that does not seem to work. Could someone tell me if it is possible to enable all linux users to write on this FAT32 partition?
