Problem writing to VFAT partition

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

 



I want to be able to write to a VFAT partition as a 
"regular" user but haven't figured out how to do so.

I mount the partition with this line in the /etc/fstab file:

/dev/hda5  /mnt/FAT  vfat  defaults  0 0

The mount point looks like this:

drwxr-xr-x  5 root  root  16384 Dec 31  1969 /mnt/FAT

When I try to make the the mount point group-writable 
with "chmod 775 /mnt/FAT", I get this result:

chmod: changing permissions of `/mnt/Xtra-FAT' 
(requested: 0775, actual: 0755): Operation not 
permitted

Is there a way to allow regular users to write to a VFAT 
partition?

Thanks!
