ral Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Using Mandrake Linux 10. This is what my fstab file looks like: /dev/hdb1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hdb6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0 /dev/hdb3 /mnt/win_e vfat defaults,umask=0,quiet 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0 When I boot linux I have read access to all the windows partitions. All are mounted by default. When I try to unmount and mount it in the console, it says: [ral@localhost ral]$ umount /mnt/win_e umount: only root can unmount /dev/hdb3 from /mnt/win_e [ral@localhost ral]$ su root Password: [root@localhost ral]# umount /mnt/win_e [root@localhost ral]# mount /mnt/win_e I understand that doing this should give me read-write access to the FAT32 partition. I still only get read access however. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ral Posted May 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 I guess I just needed to reboot or something. Now I get read-write access on the FAT32 partition at boot (no need to umount and mount) and read acsess on the NTFS partitions. Sorry for all the questions. Been gone for some time. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
