Guest anon Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 You need to edit your /etc/fstab file. There are many ways and variations on how to do this, here is one : /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win_c vfat uid=501,rw,exec,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 You can surely do what you want to do without modifications by doing it as root. OR umount your fat32 partition and modify your line related to fat32 in your /etc/fstab file according to mine /dev/hda6 /mnt/Datas vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 I think that you'll have to add umask=0 .. not sure. Compare your fstab to this line Once done, save fstab and remount your partition. MottS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannonfodder Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 Did you reboot? You must reboot. /etc/fstab is processed on startup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
