Hi, I'm having problem doing certain things to my vfat (WinXP,FAT32) partition from RedHat 9. It's mounted like this /dev/hda5 on /mnt/windows type vfat (rw,fmask=777,dmask=777,user=marcus) It looks like this: [marcus@miah marcus]$ ll /mnt/ total 36 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 17 14:26 cdrom drwxrwxrwx 12 root root 32768 Jan 1 1970 windows I can write to it as root, and as another user I can read but not write to it, not even as 'marcus'. I think it has to do with the same thing as that I can't create links on this partition: [root@miah windows]# ln -s file.txt file_link ln: creating symbolic link `file_link' to `file.txt': Operation not permitted Does anyone out there know how I should mount this partition so these things will work. Really appreciate any help! Regards, Marcus -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
