 Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2003 6:01 pm Post subject: Windows Folders are Files? |
 |
|
Um. I set up Linux to mount my windows partitions (/dev/hda1 and /dev/hdb1) to /mnt/win_c and /mnt/win_c2 respectively. When they are mounted, all of the folders are files and I cannot access their contents. Here's my /etc/fstab:
| Code: | # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.10 2002/11/18 19:39:22 azarah Exp $
#
# noatime turns of atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hdb2 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hdb4 / ext4 noatime 0 0
/dev/hdb3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat auto,owner,users,noexec 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/win_c2 vfat auto,owner,users,noexec 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom2 iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). Adding the following
# line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will use almost no
# memory if not populated with files)
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 |
Any help would be much appreciated  . Thanks in advance. |

| That's odd, I just tried tried those same options and it worked. The only issue is that if the fs is mounted by root (as it would be at boot with the auto option) then normal users cannot read any of the files or subdirectories. Try adding umask=000 to your options and see if that works. |

| It works! Yay. Thanks. Although ls still shows them all as files, I can now cd into them. Thanks for the tip. |

In the Unix world, everything is a 'file'.
If you do ls -l you'll see that directories and files have different flags.
