| Is there a way to mount a FAT32(VFAT) partition in read/write? and have it automount at bootup. I tried editing the /etc/fstab file, but I can only get it to mount in mode 755. any Ideas?? After I finish my current project, I will be switching permanently to a new drive, but for now that second drive can't be converted because it is my old win98 installation. I also need to be able to access this drive in Win98.. |

??? I used to mount Windows drives on Linux all the time, and read and write to them. Since the FAT-type filesystems don't have any user information, anyone should be able to write to them. Hmm. Then again, to mount the drives, I had to be logged in as root. But I'm about 90% sure that I could get at them (both read and write) even when I went back to normal user mode. As far as mounting automatically at bootup, that should just be a matter of what options you specify in the fstab and other related files. The man pages should have the options listed. |
| on bootup it mounts is as root. Basically I want root, and a set of users to have access to it...Should I be making a seperate group for this? I've only been running linux for about a week and a half.. still have alot to learn. Surprised by hows much I can do already. |
