I tried the same thing under SuSE 9.1, creating a FAT partition which Win XP sees as E:. It shows up in SuSE as /windows/D/, but it's only writable by root. chmod to add writability for other users claims to succeed, but doesn't do anything. I thought /windows/D/ might be a symlink, but that doesn't seem to be it.
What am I missing? How can this directory be made writable by all users?
look in /etc/fstab for the line for /windows/D/ see if you have 'user' instead of 'users' if you do, change it and you should be able to mount/read/write as a normal user vs root. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
