I can be of a little help here, at least tell you what to look for.
I searched for a 'mount-HOWTO' or 'MSDOSFS-HOWTO' but didn't find it - but there is a document in the Linux documentation that explains how you can set ownership of the VFAT partition to a particular user, so only that user, group, etc, +root can access it.
See man mount under
mount options for vfat
uid=x, gid=y

PS: I assume it is Linux because of the partition names, and the fact that you must be running a LinAMD machine (LinAMD is the PC equivalent of SolSPARC, etc)

Hi there!
I have a question about mounting a file system as readable.
I have the following line in my fstab for that purpose:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/nt vfat defaults 0 0
It mounts the filesystem but I can only read from this, not write :( what do I have to change to make it readable?
TIA! (4 Replies)

mount_ados
MOUNT_ADOS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_ADOS(8)
NAME
mount_ados -- mount an AmigaDOS file system
SYNOPSIS
mount_ados [-o options] [-u uid] [-g gid] [-m mask] special node
DESCRIPTION
The mount_ados command attaches the AmigaDOS filesystem residing on the device special to the global filesystem namespace at the location
indicated by node. Both special and node are converted to absolute paths before use. This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot
time, but can be used by any user to mount an AmigaDOS file system on any directory that they own (provided, of course, that they have appro-
priate access to the device that contains the file system).
The options are as follows:
-o options
Use the specified mount options, as described in mount(8).
-u uid Set the owner of the files in the file system to uid. The default owner is the owner of the directory on which the file system is
being mounted.
-g gid Set the group of the files in the file system to gid. The default group is the group of the directory on which the file system is
being mounted.
-m mask
Specify the maximum file permissions for files in the file system. (For example, a mask of 755 specifies that, by default, the owner
should have read, write, and execute permissions for files, but others should only have read and execute permissions. See chmod(1)
for more information about octal file modes.) Only the nine low-order bits of mask are used. The default mask is taken from the
directory on which the file system is being mounted.
SEE ALSO
mount(2), unmount(2), fstab(5), mount(8)
HISTORY
The mount_ados utility first appeared in NetBSD 1.0.
BUGS
The 'ados' filesystem currently supports the Amiga fast file system.
The 'ados' filesystem implementation currently is read-only. The mount_ados utility silently retries the mount read-only, as if the ro
option were specified, when it encounters the [EROFS] error.
