I've got SuSE 10.0 Pro (not opensuse) and I'm running Gnome. I have a dual boot system with a windows fat32 partition so that I can keep interchangeable files there. I can't do anything with the partition, however, as a user. I can do all the normal stuff as root. I've tried changing ownership but the computer won't allow it. This is my attempt via terminal as root (superuser):
linux:/home/jack # cd /windows linux:/windows # dir total 25 drwxr-xr-x 4 jack root 96 2005-10-24 18:41 . drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 544 2005-10-23 17:08 .. dr-xr-xr-x 1 root users 8192 2005-10-23 15:27 C drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 16384 2005-10-24 18:46 D linux:/windows # chown jack D chown: changing ownership of `D': Operation not permitted linux:/windows #
Because I know just enough to be a danger to my system, I don't recall how to change permissions. I tried doing it via konqueror (again as superuser) but without success. I didn't have this problem in 9.3, so I'm not quite sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
Sounds like a simple enough thing to fix, have a look at your /etc/fstab file. The section from mine dealing with my windows partition (read and write by users) is below: /dev/hda1 /mnt/ME vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 Works for me. :) Mike
