Hi
Sergey,
I got the following error message when trying to enter both my FAT partitions from Linux...
Could not mount device. The reported error was: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1 missing codepage or other error.
I found the following in syslog
FAT: Unrecognized mount option "gid=users" or missing value FAT: Unrecognized mount option "gid=users" or missing value
VFAT should understand both the uid and gid options. What is the mount command or fstab entry you are using?
The problem resolves when I manually mount them from konsole... I think the problem comes from permissions which in strange way are gray and I can't modify them from the permissions tab in the properties dialog of hdas. Only advanced permissions are available.
As far as I know, FAT does not support a permission scheme similar to those used with UNIX filesystems. Therefore, you cannot change permissions of individual files and directories residing on a FAT partition.
How can I correct it and what is the default permissions of the partitions?
Using the uid, gid and umask options allows for defining a default
user and permissions for the whole filesystem, not for individual
files.
\Steve
