OS: SuSE 9.1 "Other" OS: M$ XP Pro
I installed SuSE on second hard drive, creating a 2Gb FAT32 partition during the SuSE installation for sharing files between Windoze and SuSE.
Problem: I copied some stuff from the Winders side to the /local (FAT32) partition and can read it fine from SuSE BUT cannot write anything to these directories / files as the are owned by root:root with permissions 755 which even root cannot change! I have no problems creating files from Windoze all of which have owner root:root and permissions 755
What can I do to fix this so mere mortals can write to the /local filesystem from SuSE?
Your user ID has changed from 500 to 1000 so If your fstab entry for windows partitions has 500 change it to 1000. I forgot when reinstalling mine for vfat. Once done I had access again also users should be in that line. CWSIV
