I have umask=0. Is this the same as umask=0 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat codepage=850,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
Also a couple of lines I thought were interesting:
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdd,fs=udf:iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount
Why do they start with "none"? The drive is mounted - at least I can view files on the CD. As you can see, I'm still confused by most things linux, but hanging in there and learning slowly.

Hi, I seem to have lost write access to my folders (has been fine up
to now).
Looking in Konqueror the permissions for all the folders on the partition are shown as rwxrwxrwx, which I thought would be OK? (I
don't know the command to show this). So it seems the permissions themselves are good, something else is going on.
My drive is mounted thus: /dev/hda6 on /winshare type vfat (rw,umask=007,gid=1003)
My fstab reads: /dev/hda6 /winshare vfat umask=007,gid=famten 0 0
N.B. the umask=007. I had the same problem till I sussed this one. I'm told that this is specific to FAT mounts, to spoof enough permissions that aren't possible with FAT.
The umask=007 combined with gid=1003 gives the owner and any member of group 1003 full access, rest-of-the world none. use umask=000 for all access to everyone.
Thanks go to the kind soul who helped me out with a super-clear description.
