Emon, VFAT does not have any facility to store access rights. When you mount a vfat partition, Linux calculates the access bits of all files and directories on the partition based on your umask.
To get the access bits you want, you need to set the umask option in the options column of /etc/fstab. Look at the man page of mount.vfat (or mount) to get the details. -- Mojahed On 12/21/05, Emon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all > I am a newbie running Slackware10.2.
