Hi all: Just solve the problem. If you wanna other user to write on fat32 partition mounted by linux, set the default group, user, permission in the 'dos option', which is available in linuxconf. it is impossible to set different permission to different folders in fat32 partition. One setting works to all. Thanks to all replies.
