mounting fat 32 partitions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey - I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to mount my fat32 volumes so
they are rw for my administrator login as well as the root user.  I
tried adding a string to my fstab, but when I rebooted I get the
following:

Warning fat32 support is still Alpha
dos fsck 2.8 28 Feb 2001, fat lfh
/dev/hda1 ....blocks
Warning fat32 support is still Alpha

at this point the bootup hangs and I have to ctrl+c past it.

I was using the following:

/dev/hda1	/mnt/cee	vfat noauto,owner,gid=500,rw 1 2
/dev/hda5	/mnt/dee	vfat noauto,owner,gid=500,rw 1 2

plus a whole variety of combinations...

I have to mount them once logged in using the command:

mount -w -t vfat /dev/hda1 //mnt/cee

Tried setting -o gid=500 also but they will not seem to mount rw to
anyone other than root.

I feel I am doing something stupid - but help would be appreciated! 
Thanks - DC
