At least my source code files aren't executable, as they pretend to be with vfat. A better system for removable media would be for the root folder owner be changed to that of the console user, as it appears to happen with vfat mounts. That way, the media could be truly portable with minimum fuss. Actually, that leads me to my solution! Just do chmod 777 on the thumb drive's root folder and it all behaves the way I want. Anybody can create files or folders on the device, and read/write permissions are sensibly handled. Thanks for all the input, guys! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
