Guest xtemp0rized Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Hi, Mandrake 10.1, two problems, which are most-likely related. The user is unable to read HFS+ formatted floppy disks. KDE seems to mount the floppy fine, but konqueror cannot read the directory, and the ls command does not list files. The user IS able to read and write to DOS formatted floppies. The twist is, superuser can read and write to HFS+ formatted floppies just fine. Also, the user cannot write to the FAT32 windows partition of the harddrive. ("user does not have permission to write to this drive" or something like that) while the superuser can write to the FAT32 partition without problems. I have tried all of the permissions related settings i can think of, could this problem be udev-related? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Things i've tried: -fstab: added exec,rw,users, umask=0, tried with and without mandrake's supermount -chmod 777 for /mnt/floppy and /mnt/windows -added user to floppy and disk groups -temporarily chmod 777 /dev/hda1 /dev/fd0 (even though I know udev resets this at boot) #cat /etc/fstab none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 / reiserfs notail,noatime 1 1 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users, 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,noauto,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,user,noexec,rw,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 (edited) regarding the windows part try to change fstab entry in your win partition /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 but, before doing that, try to backup your fstab first.. #cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.good.old < or what-ever file name u like> Edited March 10, 2005 by aioshin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 What's your security level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xtemp0rized Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 thanks aioshin and adamw for the quick responses. Unfortunately i had to be out of town for a few days and do not have access to the computer in question at this moment. however, from memory: aioshin, the fstab you suggested was the original value before i changed anything (this did not work) adamw, i set the security level to whatever the default normal or standard workstation setting was during installation. any other ideas? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
