Mount FAT32 as read write

[[Neo770]]

Hello all,

So how do I mount my FAT32 parition as read+Write for all users?

Mandrake already has it in /mnt/Stuff which is where I told it to be during install.

This is Mandrake 9.2 if it makes any difference.

hello, putting this in /etc/fstab should do it.

/dev/hda1 /dos vfat defaults,user,umask=002,gid=100 0 0

actually, if it was to be rwx for all users it would be umask=0
If its a desktop this would be ok, but I'd keep it as 002 so you at least have to be a member of the group to write it.

ok well that didnt really work, I still cant write to it.

My fstab looks like this:

/dev/hda5 / reiserfs notail 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda7 /home reiserfs notail 1 2
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdb,fs=udf:iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
/dev/hda2 /mnt/stuff vfat defaults,user,umask=002,gid=100 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/winnt ntfs ro,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0

what am i missing here?

/dev/hda2 /mnt/stuff vfat umask=0,rw 0 0
