if the drive is formated as fat32 or ntfs they do not know of linux type permissions. So if that is the case.. you must umask that partition at mount time mike On 16 Mar 2007 18:39:00 +0000, Andy Allen <andy.allen@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I can't change the permissions on a USB flash drive mounted on /dev/sda1 even when root - really frustrating as the drive is mounted in my user area, but I have to log on as root every time I want to write to the drive. Any suggestions as to how I can change permissions (chmod) or owner (chown) for this device? - thanks, Andy -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
