Hi, I mount mine like this: /dev/sda2 /home/mark/Gigs vfat rw,noauto,user 0 0 Note that I had to make the Gigs directory as user mark, then su to root and do a chown and chgrp of /home/mark/Gigs to mark:users. (With the drive NOT mounted) After that change mounting the drive and writing to it was no problem. The message about 'operation not permitted' is most likely because FAT does not support owner:group:world permissions. Hope this helps, Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
