Hi,
I've set up my /etc/fstab file as usual, so that I can access my Windows C: and D: drives, as shown in the attachment.
I can mount/unmount both these drives and read them. I can also write to the /mnt/c filesystem. But for some reason I can't write to the /mnt/d filesystem. Specifically:
$ whoami yawar $ pwd /mnt/d/My Documents $ touch file touch: creating `file': Permission denied $
Well ... what does "ls -l /mnt/d/My\ Documents" tell you about ownership of and permissions for that directory? Same questions for "ls -l /mnt/d". Checking this info is the obvious place to start ... so basic, really, that I wouldn't check anything else until I had verified that the values reported here were sensible.
Am I correct is assuming that you (that is, userid yawar) own the partition /mnt/d ? If so, and you mount the filesystem from userid yawar, it should give you (yawar) write access. But since the fstab entries have both "owner" -AND- "user" attributes set, it is unclear on what basis you (yawar) are mounting the partition.
It is quite easy to get a detail wrong when working with fat and vfat, so you should double-check all the basics.
Can some kind soul tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks, Yawar Amin
