Re: FAT32 READ/WRITE ACCESS

[Roger Searle]

Hi Sam,  I had a similar problem, here's the line from my file (I have 
no problems with read/write access now)

/dev/hda1               /mnt/c             vfat     
auto,user,defaults,umask=0,rw 0 0

hth...

hi, yes i tryed that but it still doesn't allow me to read or write to fat32.  
i think i still need to rebuild my kernal, compile it, then install it.  it's 
the install part which i'm unsure about....

cheers, sam

 

Did you pay particular attention to this particular part?
/dev/hda1   /mnt/c   vfat   defaults,umask=000    0 0
The umask=000 should let the world read/write/execute
