 Posted: Wed Jan 01, 2003 8:40 am Post subject: User cannot access Windows drive |
 |
|
| In my computer I have 2 hard drives. One is partitioned for gentoo and the other is one gigantic windows partition. Both work fine, except that when I try to access the windows drive from a normal user in Linux. It says permission denied. I have tried chowning and chmoding it but nothing of that sort helps any at all. Then I figured it might be fstab, but nothing I did with that worked. If anyone has any idea what might be going on, I could use some help. The windows drive is fat32 by the way. I would also like to know what generic options for my windows drive in fstab would be. |

Did you edit your /etc/fstab?
Perhaps some line like this will help:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windowz fat32 noauto,rw,users 0 0

this works for me:
| Code: | | /dev/hde2 /wintendo vfat uid=500,gid=500,umask=000,exec,dev,suid,auto,user,rw 0 0 |
you only have to change the /dev/hde2 and /wintendo to your settings and that's it

Thanks! I've been wondering about this one for a long long time 
My solution was to let the user mount it, but that meant it had to be mounted manually at every boot. This is very nice

This thread seems to cover the topic well.
