Well that's actually unfortunate for me. What I want is for my vfat partitions
to be like my own home partition rwxr--r-- throughout. One time by mistake I
mounted it with some other umask (I think) and it keeps remembering that and
even if I set umask=033 now it does not give rwxr--r-- to the files.
So how do I make the system forget the permissions of the inodes in the
Windows partition? If I start up my machine once without mounting the Windows
partition will that do?
P.S: I tried using chmod -Rf 0744 /win with mixed success...
