got an external 250gb hard drive with fat32 filesystem (created in Linux with fdisk), connected via usb2.
the mount command is :
mount -t vfat -o rw,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=437 /dev/xxx /mnt/xxx
root can cd into the directory, create files, delete files, modify what he created., and chmod existing files.
on the other hand, he cannot chown existing files, but he can modify them (edit and save).
the files were copied to the disk using my computer at work, running windows 2000 server. files mode
is set to "-rwxr--r--" .
what am i missing here ??
Ido
in that case, how do you give access to those files to a regular user ? adding the user
to the "root" group wont help...
regular users don't have access to that dir (itself, one level above the files..)
the interesting thing is, that if i create the mount point AS a user, the ownership will change
back to root after i mount.
i wonder what will happen if i'll give my user uid 0...
august penguins all over again ? :)
