Hi all,
i know, i ask a lot, but i am just a newbee.
The problem now:
I have two fat32 partitions. There are mounted via fstab. Only the root can read an write. I would like to give me (as no root - account) the right for read and write (that means for all operations) for all folders in the mounted fat32-partitions. How?
Thanks
There are a couple of options.
If you are the only user, then:
in the fstab entry for those partitions add the options
"UID=XXX,GID=YYY" where XXX and YYY are your user id and group id.
This will work, however; using umask=000 together with the users option allows all users to mount, unmount read and write. This becomes important when other users need the permissions. If you are unfamiliar with umask, you should look in man fstab or man umask. The UID, would only give you permission, the GID is a good option if you need a partition to be accessed by only a particular group though.

This will always mount the partition with you as the owner and group.
If you are not the only user and want each user to have the same access then: 1) In the fstab entry add the options "user", and "noauto". 2) In the users login script (.bash_profile or equivalent) add a line that mounts the partitions for that user, and in the logout script (.bash_logout) put another line that unmounts the same partitions. This should make it so that each user can access the fat32 partitions whenever they log in. It does, however, mean that only one user can access it at a time.
I have not tried it, but it would seem that having the mount point set at mode 777 may give access as well.
HTH, and man fstab for more options.

BTW: MP3 works fine with xmms, the WLAN is a little bit tricky, but i will work it out.
