The best way is to put in the fstab file to not mount the drive automatically. this will allow you to have access to de drive as the owner for that user that mounted the drive... what? hehe.. sorry bad explanation.. let me do it again.. if you have in your fstab file: auto,owner,users 0 0 then the user that mounts the drive, will have all permisions on that drive. beware that if you mount as root, you might have problems unmounting or writing to it Rigo >Message: 12 >Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2002 21:23:10 -0500 >From: John P Verel <jverel@optonline.net> >To: Psyche List <psyche-list@redhat.com> >Subject: How to Change Vfat ownership and permissions? >Reply-To: psyche-list@redhat.com > > >I'm finding impossible to change ownership and permissions on my vfat >partititon.
