appended this line to fstab now, still no joy /dev/sda5 /mnt/dos vfat auto,owner,rw,umask=0000 0 0
log in as myself now and
cd /mnt/dos
bash: cd: /mnt/dos: Permission Denied
ls -l
d----------- 4 root users 16384 1970-01-01 01:00 dos
Pretty weird!
Try this instead:
/dev/sda5 /mnt/dos vfat dmask=0000,fmask=0111 0 0
# umount /mnt/dos # mount /mnt/dos
Now anybody should be able to read and write to /mnt/dos, even though the files appear to be owned by root.
