I ran to a problem because I don't want my friends to see most (but not all) of my mounted DOS partition. Does anyone have any idea how to change the group of files mounted as a DOS partition?
You can change permissions, group and ownership only for the whole VFAT partition whith the mount options umask, gid and uid (described in `man mount' in the section "Mount options for fat"). But it is not possible [1] to set permissions for single files/directories on a VFAT partition. Eilert [1] There is the umsdos filesystem, which uses special files to store unix like permissions on a FAT filesystem. Maybe this is a solution in your case, but I've never tried it and don't know what are possible problems with it. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eilert Brinkmann -- Universitaet Bremen -- FB 3, Informatik eilert@informatik.uni-bremen.de - eilert@tzi.org - eilert@linuxfreak.com http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~eilert/ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
