wigimister Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Ok, hda3 is mounted as /moltar. it is fat32. when i try to go to /moltar, i get access denied. When i use the terminal as root, i am able to browse the folders. Mandrake put something on my desktop, called win_c2, and when i open it i see the folders in hda3, but they are not folders but unknown files which cannot be opened. All i want is to be able to access this partition, so that i can listen to my music. what do i do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 post your /etc/fstab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Your permissions are off. The changes to be made in your /etc/fstab file will correct the issue. Browsing, writing to, and copying from a fat partition is no problem in linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polemicz Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 I had a similar problem on my Debian Sarge setup (2.6.3 kernel) using /dev/hdxx /mtpt vfat defaults 0 0. I changed the line to /dev/hdxx mtpt vfat umask=0, iocharset=is08859-1, codepage=850 0 0 It worked fine at that point. Give it a shot.

Cannonfodder Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 First off, clarify for me where your fat32 partition is located. Is it hda3 or hda8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannonfodder Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 also, in case you don't know, you can add comments to your fstab and also organize it however you like. E.g. put call entries for one drive # HDA # HDB Makes it easier to learn and keep track of things.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idud Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Why don't you try this: /dev/hda8 /moltar vfat defaults,umask=000 0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
