still not exactly...
Ok, now it is somewhat better, but still there is a problem. I have this line now in /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda6 /windows vfat auto,user,uid=300,gid=300
On load the permissions of most of the files and directories on the partition are rwxr-xr-x, which is probably what i would want to have. But if i need a file with rwxrwxrwx permissions i can't somehow do that. With command chmod +w filename it doesn't change anything. if i remove w access to a file and then do the above command again it only puts the w on the user (rwxr-xr-x) and not the group or for all users.
Is there a way of somehow change that?
P.S. I'm on Red Hat Linux 7.1 on P4 1.5GHz
And thanks again!

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)
