Write permission to fat32?

[Guest affeee]

How can i get writepermission in mandrake to my hdb-drive? It´s a fat32-drive.

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

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.

ok... this is how my fstab looks like now... but it still doesnt work

/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1

none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0

/dev/hda7 /home ext3 defaults 1 2

none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0

none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0

none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0

/dev/hda1 /mnt/nt ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0

/dev/hda3 /mnt/nt2 ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0

/dev/hdb1 /mnt/nt3 vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0



/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0

 

i tried your suggestion to anon...

Did you reboot? You must reboot. /etc/fstab is processed on startup.

[Guest affeee]

ahh... now it works. Thanks cannonfodder.
