 |
|
I've mounted my windows partition. But when i go to a specific directory it cant give a full listing, but stops halfway with this error msg:
The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly.
It shows half the directory.. all other directories give a good listing.
here is part of my fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/hda5 /windows vfat smbfs users,rw,username=abc,passwd=123,noauto 0 0
|
Any solution for this? |

if this is a windows partition, and not a remote windows share, then you should have either vfat or smbfs not both. if this is just a partition on your hard drive, then use vfat if its win95/98/Me, or ntfs if its NT/2k/XP. smbfs is for mounting remote samba (think network neighborhood) shares. most likely the line should read
| Code: | | /dev/hda5 /windows vfat users,rw,uid=UID,gid=GID,noauto 0 0 |
where uid and gid are the user id and group id of the user who you want to "own" the whole partition. this is because fat32 doesnt set permission bits for files like unix (or ntfs) file systems. if you omit uid= and gid= then it will mount read-all, and write-root-only.
hope this helps, have a nice day.

What this is doing in Desktop Environments escapes me. Off to OTG.
