Don't mount as root, or chmod the dir before you mount. -----Original Message----- From: IT Clown [mailto:linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, February 20, 2004 12:13 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: File transfers between linux and windows? While on the mounting of other file systems how would you mount a nother file system so that a normal user will have rw access to another partition? When i mount a FAT partition only root will have write access while a normal user will only have read access.
