-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If root is the owner of the fat32 files and are you trying to write to the file system under another user, then you will be denied write access based on the umask of 0022. My guess would be that the umask should be 0020 and you may have to change the permissions on the existing structure while logged in as root.
Just a guess. :-) Neil Bower Registered User # 323470 ( http://counter.li.org) Fingerprint: F3C6 F20C 7B0F 0BFD BA3D 1EB4 2F93 DE6C 4CF6 DA95 On Wednesday 17 December 2003 20:49, N Sjoman wrote: >tried it; no difference > >On Wed, 2003-12-17 at 20:35, b-r-i-a-n - wrote: >> Try this instead... >> >> /dev/hda2 /mnt/fat32drive1 vfat umask=0022 >> /dev/hda3 /mnt/fat32drive2 vfat umask=0022 >> >> (note the extra zero) >> >> Regards, >> >> Brian >> >> >From: N Sjoman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], CLUG General <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >Subject: [clug-talk] fstab >> >Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2003 19:36:47 -0700 >> > >> >I changed the fstab as follows: >> > >> >/dev/hda2 /mnt/fat32drive1 vfat umask=022 >> >/dev/hda3 /mnt/fat32drive2 vfat umask=022 >> > >> >I can read the fat32 drive but documents still open in open office as >> >read only and access is denied when I try to copy from konquerer to >> >documents in the fat 32 drive. >> > >> >This change made no difference in the situation. >> > >> >Sjoman >> > >> > >> >_______________________________________________ >> >clug-talk mailing list >> >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca >> >> _________________________________________________________________ >> Tired of spam?
