[S.u.S.E. Linux] Mounting Fat32 Partitions **URGENT PLS**
Ok, Let me set the scene. I have SuSe 5.2 installed, I have also snagged a copy of the updated kernel (2.0.24) from the suse ftp site but I have not compiled it yet. Does anyone know how I would mount a Fat32 Partition please.

Ok assuming these FAT32 drives are your windows95 pations the best way i have found to mount them is as follows.... type mount -t vfat /dev/hd(letter+number) /mnt take a look what drive that is (c,d....) then mkdir /dosc /dosd.... now you wan't to write to the fstab in /etc put something along the lines of the following.. /dev/hd(letter+number) /mount-point(/dosc....) noauto vfat 0 0 don't automount / ^ ^ Let the kernel know its a windows VFAT drive (FAT OR FAT32) -| | Now set a dump frequency of 0 and an fsck off (the fsck for dos is still buggy) -| That should work... if you don't want users with read access to the windows drives at all an idea would be to make the directory /win/ add the drive letters inside it /win/c/ win/d/.. and then chmod 0700 /win p.s all the above HAS to be done as root - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

You need to install and compile the kernel 2.0.34 *or* patch and compile your 2.0.33 kernel before you can get FAT32 support. ---------------------------------- <A HREF="http://benham.net/index.html"><A HREF="http://benham.net/index.html</A">http://benham.net/index.html -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS d+(-) s:+ a29 C++$ UL++>++++ P+++$ L++>++++ E?
