Hi, I had FC5 installed in first drive (hda). I have recently added the new 20GB (hdb) and created a one whole partition and formatted to ext3 using GParted. my problem is ---------------------- I can't mount the drive with the permission to write by other users. option1: ========= my entry in fstab: (similar to mount my vfat partions) /dev/hdb1 /mnt/install ext3 rw,defaults,umask=0000 0 0 =========== gives me bad supreblock error and doesn't mount at boot time option2: ========= my entry in fstab: (similar to root main drive is mounted) /dev/hdb1 /mnt/install ext3 defaults 1 1 ========= mounts the drive but what I can see inside the drive is "lost+found" folder which is locked and I can't do anything with it (as normal user). how do i mount this drive with write permission to other users. HISTORY: =========== this drive used to be "vfat" before, which was mounted and shared through samba. But I had problem writing to vfat partions from network (from windows machine to linux), usually some files get corrupted or hangs in the middle of writing (Samba problem???). As alternative I have to write the files first to my home folder (ext3) and then from there I have to transfer to vfat drives. so instead to doing these tedious things I just want to simply convert my drive to ext3 and share it as before so that I can write properly from network (windows mahcines) (which I think will work for me). ============ Thanks -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
