Write permission on Linux

[safwatonline]

Permissions

hello,
i mounted my FAT32 drives on linux fedora core 3 , i mount them in a folder called /other-drives
i can read them fine from the user account and from the root , but i want to write on them from linux , i cannot do it from the user , as i dont have permission to write , i tried to give this permission to my user account from root but when i check the box in permissions , it dont want to be checked !!! , shouldnt the root be able to do this, also i added my account "user" to both root group and adm group " i thought it may be adminstrator"
but the problem is that write permissions is given tto Owner only which is the root,
any idea how to fix that?
thnx,
a.safwat

Permissions

May be you try to log on as su, so you could access and write to some directory.

Re: Permissions

Did you tried setting permissions to the mount directory (like /mnt/fat32) ? .
Also check if you specified at /etc/fstab with option "user".

You can't set permissions files inside FAT32 drive.

Or are you sure it wasn't an NTFS filesystem ?

Re: Permissions

hi
you must right click on your icon and choose permisson and then click write to tick it then your program will become writeable.

Re: Permissions

Try the folloing in the /etc/fstab file

/dev/hda2       /mnt/C_Drive   vfat    rw        0       2

or like

/dev/hda2       /mnt/C_Drive   vfat    defaults        0       2
