 |
|
I know that fat permissions is a common issue here, but I don't think this has been adressed before:
I want to let users that are members of the group "share" (407) be able to read, write and execute files in /ftp-data
/etc/fstab:
| Code: | ...
/dev/hdb1 /ftp-data vfat defaults,uid=nobody,gid=407,umask=707 0 0
... |
here is the output i get from ls:
| Code: | root@pr0nstar:/ftp-data# ls -la
d---rwx--- 12 root share 4.0K Jan 1 1970 .
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 512 Sep 15 16:10 ..
d---r-x--- 6 root share 4.0K Sep 21 03:30 Incoming
d---r-x--- 31 root share 12K Sep 21 18:39 Music
d---r-x--- 4 root share 4.0K Sep 14 13:04 backup.volvo |
No write permission!!! Help!
I've tried adding rw, auto, to fstab also.
I'm stuck!  |

Hmm, that didn't help either,
still cannot set write permissions.
Now my fstab look like this:
| Code: | | /dev/hdb1 /ftp-data vfat rw,uid=teddy,gid=share,dmask=775,fmask=774,umask=000 0 0 |
and this is the output i get from ls:
| Code: | root@pr0nstar:/ftp-data# ls -la
drwxrwxrwx 12 teddy share 4.0K Jan 1 1970 .
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 512 Sep 15 16:10 ..
dr-xr-xr-x 6 teddy share 4.0K Sep 21 03:30 Incoming
dr-xr-xr-x 9 teddy share 4.0K Sep 21 18:39 Movies
dr-xr-xr-x 31 teddy share 12K Sep 21 18:39 Music
dr-xr-xr-x 4 teddy share 4.0K Sep 14 13:04 backup.volvo |
Please help me with this, I hate fat partitions!!! |

no real experience with fat ( i hate them as well  ) but shouldn;t you set umask to something like 770 ?
( i'am referring to umask in /etc/fstab of course... ) |

I use these options:
| Code: | | /dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat uid=1000,gid=1000,async,rw 0 0 |
and never have any problem writing to it. Be sure that uid and gid matches your primary user's uid and gid. |

|
|
I've got a similar configuration, my vfat mount point is owned by root:win. I'm allowing rwxrwxr-x on it (umask = 0002)
My fstab entry looks like
| Code: |
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat gid=win,umask=0002 1 0
|
I just let the uid default to root. anyone in the win group has write permissions.
The relevent kernel config entries are, I think:
| Code: |
grep "\(DOS\)\|\(FAT\)" /proc/config
CONFIG_FAT_FS=y
CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=y
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y
CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION=y
|
Also I'm running with the gentoo-2.4.20-r7 kernel sources. I'm guessing from the fact that you have an fmask in your latest examples that you are running a 2.5 series (or later). Maybe there is a problem with these? |

Really stupid, but I don't think you can set permissions on FAT, as it has no file permission attributes (only hidden, system, read-only, archive).
At least IIRC. I don't think I could ever set permissions. |

|
|
| Although you can't set permissions on individual files, the Linux VFAT implementation allows you to set permissions on the mounted filesystem as a whole. This permission is a property of the mount, rather than the filesystem. |

I'm running a 2.4 kernel. I only took some settings that someone else used and hoped that they would work, but they didn't...
These are my kernel settings:
| Code: | root@pr0nstar:/etc/kernels# grep "\(DOS\)\|\(FAT\)" config-2.4.22_pre2-gss
CONFIG_EVMS_DOS_SEGMENT_MGR=m
CONFIG_FAT_FS=m
CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=m
CONFIG_UMSDOS_FS=m
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=m
CONFIG_NCPFS_SMALLDOS=y
CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION=y |
As you can see, it's quite modular, I hope this doesn't affect this matter in any way
Now I have the following settings in my fstab, still not working 
| Code: | | /dev/hdb1 /ftp-data vfat uid=teddy,gid=share,async,rw,umask=0002 0 0 |
ssync just help performance, right?
Thanks for your help and patience, it's appriciated! |

mount has a verbose flag (-v) I don't suppose it gives anthing useful.
Also, vfat does have a read-only flag for files. I don't know whether the Linux vfat driver honours it or not. I guess you could try chmodding a file, and seeing if it sticks over a remount. |
