my guess is the following: you are auto-mounting it, no? So in effect it will be mounted by root. user allows mount/umount by ordinary users, but I don't know what it does to read-write permissions. It is usually used for allowing users to mount cd/floppy media etc. instead of user, try specifying a umask, like /dev/hda5 /home/blissfix/fat vfat auto,umask=0000 0 0 > But as user I have no access, only as root. > > cat /proc/mounts reveals: > > /dev/hda5 /home/blissfix/fat vfat > rw,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev,noexec,fmask=0033,dmask=0033 > 0 0 > > not sure what this means but even as root chown gives: > > chown: Changing ownership of '/home/blissfix/fat/*': > operation not permitted. > -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- * Address: 45 Spelman Hall, Princeton University 08544 * * Phone: x68958 AIM: AngularJerk * * E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: sep.dynalias.net * ---------------------------------------------------------------- Tried to play my shoehorn... all I got was footnotes!
