I have a FAT partition (hda9) that I use to store and share files from Win98 and several linux distros. I want to bitorrent ISO images there from Kanotix, but I get an error that I don't have permission. I have tried
su
umount /mnt/hda9
chown -R gtp:users /mnt/hda9
mount /mnt/hda9
(my username is gtp). No success. When I remount, it is still owned by root and I cannot write to it from my user account. What am I doing wrong? |

It's a lot eaiser if you mount it somewhere in your home directory.
1. Create a directory. Let's call it winux (Windows Linux). $ mkdir /home/gtp/winux
2. In your /etc/fstab there should be a line saying
/dev/hda9 /home/gtp/winux vfat rw,noauto,users,exec 0 0
3. Mount it. $ mount /home/gtp/winux
4. If the files are still owned by root do as root : # chown -R gtp:gtp /home/gtp/winux
In /etc/fstab /dev/hda9 is the device, /home/gtp/winux the mount point, vfat the filesystem type, rw read/write, noauto don't mount it in every boot ( change it to auto if you want it to be mounted everytime you boot), users users can mount it (nousers only root can mount), exec not quite sure, but I think it means that files can be executed (programs, scripts, etc). The 0 0 is something beyond to me. man mount explains it all. |

| I used the method above to change the mount point to /home/gtp/hda9, but I get the same result. For some reason, chown does not seem to be effective. The folder and files are still owned by root. |

if you did as root:
Code:
chown -R gtp:gtp /home/gtp/hda9
mount /home/gtp/hda9
chown -R gtp:gtp /home/gtp/hda9
and the files under /home/gtp/hda9 are still owned by root, then you might want to ask in IRC http://irc.kanotix.net/cgi-bin/cgiirc/irc.cgi |

| Thanks for the help, but it does not work for me. I will follow up on irc. I tried the other day and no one answered... hopefully the irc will get more active when the next release comes out. |
