When I mount a USB stick via the device notifier, I can't edit or change attributes of any file.
I seem to own the file and directory and have owner write permission, according to LS.
Not only can I not modify the file, but I can't chmod or chow/chgrp it as root either.
The entry in the mount table reads
/dev/sdb1 on /media/STORIES type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=501,utf8,shortname=mixed,flush)
Do I need some kind of magic in fstab or some hal entry?
Mounting one of my Thumb drives (a patriot 16gig) I see the following: /dev/sdb1 /media/PATRIOT vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=mixed,flush 0 0 which looks like yours other than the uid. For any recent version of opensuse uids tend to start at 1000, so unless you migrated this system from the Pleistocene that might be a tad suspect. Just gotta ask: Are you sure there is no physical switch on this device for write protection that you forgot about? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
