Fwd: Fwd: FW: [plug] ubuntu 6.06 and file permissions for fat32

[Josh Fletcher]

Hi,

I tried both EricS and Michael's edits to fstab, but the most I got was
being able to sudo access the folder. On the actual drive I can do stuff,
but when I try to access that folder I get a permission denied unless the
command has been sudo'd...

By the by, what's the easiest way to open a root terminal in Ubuntu?

Thanks, Josh

That'll give access to group 46. Are you a member?
Simplest fix is to change to 'umask=000' and give everyone full access.

> /dev/hda4 /media/documents vfat
> umask=0,user,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0

Do you want 'user' for a hard disk partition?

One warning: Don't change the data while windoze is hibernating.

Is there a way to get XP to unmount a FAT32 partiton before hibernating?


Mike.
