i have a win partition mounted with the following fstab line: /dev/hda6 /mnt/drivef vfat user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 as i understand it all files on this drive should appear to have the same permissions, but i get the following, the partition is symlinked to be accessed at /home/bascule/mp3s/: [bascule@localhost downloads]$ ls -l /home/bascule/mp3s/Cher/Believe/ total 19184 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3852414 Mar 21 2001 01_Believe.mp3* -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3782529 Mar 21 2001 02_The Power.mp3* -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4586352 Mar 21 2001 03_Runaway.mp3*
all the preceding have the apparent permissions that i would expect from the fstab line, but the following don't: [bascule@localhost downloads]$ ls -l /home/bascule/mp3s/Chet\ Baker/My\ Funny\ Valentine/ total 42904 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2248704 Jun 29 2000 01_My Funny Valentine.mp3* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2926592 Jun 29 2000 02_Someone To Watch Over Me.mp3* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 3319808 Jun 29 2000 03_Moonlight Becomes You.mp3* surely this shouldn't be?, note i had this under 8.2 but due to an unfixable (by me) problem with xmms i decided to upgrade to 9.0 earlier than intended and after the upgrade turned out to be shaky i did a clean install just keeping /home, is there any way that accessing the same partition from winxp - which i have done - could have messed with it? any ideas? bascule -- 'Charity ain't giving people what you wants to give, it's giving people what they need to get.'
