This subject has been already discussed on this list, but...
I can access my msdos partition only as root, even if in the fstab there is a
line like this:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/msdos/ vfat user,noauto 0 0
where:
/dev/hda1 -> device name
/mnt/msdos -> mount point
vfat -> type of the filesistem
user,noauto -> mount options, namely:
user: allow an ordinary user to mount the file system.
noauto: prevents automatical mount of the msdos filesystem at boot
With these options I can mount the msdos filesystem but I can access it. This
sound quite strange to me and I cannot find out the reason. I mean, I can mount
and access a floppy (msdos formatted) disk as any user... should be the same
for the /dev/hdax, or not? Actually there is a difference in the permissions:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 1 gen 20 05:27 /dev/hda1
brw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 2, 0 gen 20 05:27 /dev/fd0
Maybe I just need to change the /dev/hda1 permissions?
[] YES [] NO [] I just did it but nothing happened
Is there any reason for the above difference on the permissions?
[]YES [] NO []I don't care about your dos partition
