Folks,
Installed SuSE 9.3 over the past few days, it went well. But as usual there
are always things that are not quite the way you want them.
I have a VFAT partition on the machine so that I can read and write between
the Windows NTFS and the SuSE side without worrying with writing to the
NTFS side. But for some reason I can not set the permissions to anything
but read and execute on that VFAT partition. Root can write but the rest of
users are only allowed read and execute.
Here is my mtab file
kp4djt@linux:/etc> cat mtab
/dev/hda4 / reiserfs rw,acl,user_xattr 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
/dev/hde1 /media/idedisk subfs rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=auto 0 0
/dev/hda2 /media/playbox vfat rw 0 0
/dev/hda1 /media/windows ntfs rw 0 0
kp4djt@linux:/etc>
/dev/hda2 is the partition of interest, here is a listing
linux:/media # ls -l
total 13
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 152 2005-08-18 22:39 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 488 2005-08-18 16:28 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2005-08-17 11:13 cdrecorder
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2005-08-18 22:29 idedisk
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 1969-12-31 17:00 playbox
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8192 2005-08-18 14:15 windows
No matter what I do, it will not allow group and others to have
write priviledges, root does but that is all.
