Am I correct in thinking that when it works, you are in the root directory for that FS? e.g. if you have /mnt/windows can you create /mnt/windows/file1 but not /mnt/windows/tempdir/file2?
If this is the case, then check your fstab entry. I've got the following one which fixed the same problem for me /dev/hdb2 /mnt/windows vfat umask=000,gid=500,uid=500 0 0 The umask sets the fake permission bit as vfat doesn't support it. The gid/uid makes every file/dir owned by my user. Hope this helps Gary (BTW, don't call me a manager - I actually do work ;) ) On Monday 03 December 2001 4:39 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Dear Managers, > > I installed Red Hat 7.2 (Enigma) on a old PC of mine (Celeron 300). > Everything is ok but when I am trying to mount and transfer things to my > vfat disk strange things are happening. > > The disk is recognised as vfat and mounted ok. > Then when I am trying to create a dir or transfer files to that disk > the first time everything is ok.
