Pen drive permissions 10.1

I am using a 256Mb USB pen drive with Mandrake 10.1.

 

Whenever I plug it in, the permissions are rwxr-wr-w. There is no entry in the fstab until I plug in the drive and then the fstab changes, the following line is added to the end of the file:-

 

/dev/sda1 /mnt/removable auto umask=0022,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,exec,users 0 0

When I remove the drive this line disappears so editing the fstab does not work. I want to change the umask option but I can't figure out where I need to make the change.

 

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

well, making umask=000 will give you write access for users, however as you say the fstab disappears if you remove it...does mandrake have a config file for magicdev or supermount? i sure hope so.

 

in any case, there should be a file called /dev/sda1, try as root, "chmod +w /dev/sda1". or "chmod 777 /dev/sda1"
