Hello, I am a newbie to Debian, so am very green. I have a partition on my HDD (FAT32) which I am sharing between Windows and Linux. I have mounted it in fstab with
/dev/hda6 /mnt/common vfat rw, user
The problem I have is that I cannot write to it. I need to be /root to write to this. How do I cange it to allow all users to read and write to it? When I look at permissions, it tells me the file owner and group are both "root" and only the owner can read/write/execute. Group and others can only read.
I've searched online for help, but haven't found anything that helps. If there is anyone that can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Steve
You need to add the uid and gid options (eg uid=steve,gid=users) to the part of the fstab where it says rw, user.
See man mount for more info on what options are available for fat32
