I have a dual boot (win98/SuSE6.3) system, and have mounted a small windows vfat partition in linux. The partition is read only for normal users. I would like to change permissions on this partition to allow users to read/write to this partition.
I tried chmod and chown as root, but get 'Operation not permitted' errors. This is obviously not how to do it. Can someone help me out with this?
You have to provide the permissions as a mount option (mode=xxx) in /etc/fstab. See "man mount" for more info.
