Olaf, this doesn't seem to do the trick, I have this for my WinXP (vfat) partition in fstab: /dev/hda1 /mnt/c vfat defaults,noauto,user 0 0 With this I can't create folders in the vfat partition in nautilus, however I _can_ do it in the terminal and as soon as I do it, thanks to gamin, I can see the folder show up in nautilus. And as soon as I rmdir it the folder in nautilus disappears just as expected. So the bug seems to be in nautilus only. The message I get is something like: "Error <<Invalud parameteres>> creating the new folder" As a side note, I have another partition with ext3 configured with the sames options like the vfat partition and I can create folder there with nautilus flawlessly. What can I do? -William El vie, 03-12-2004 a las 08:11 -0500, Olaf Reitmaier escribió: > Look at /etc/fstab, and you must see the option "rw" in the lines > refering to your devices (flash or other partition), like this: > > /dev/sda /mnt/flash auto noauto,user,owner,rw 0 0 > /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash1 auto noauto,user,owner,rw 0 0 > > If your Windows XP partition is ntfs, you must recompile the kernel to > support write on ntfs partition (CAREFUL IS EXPERIMENTAL), if not is > an ntfs, try putting the rw option. > > -- > ------------------------------------------------- > Olaf Reitmaier Veracierta > Email: <olafrv@xxxxxxxxx> > Linux User #: 264681 > ------------------------------------------------- >
