i just installed mandrake linux 9.1 and was configuring some stuff. i normally mount a FAT32 parition under linux to share files between windows and linux. to do this i have been adding an entry in my /etc/fstab to set up the partition. i've used this with various distros in the past like redhat, mandrake 9.0 etc.
i tried setting up the same thing in 9.1 too, but encountered a funny problem. i added a line to fstab as usual. the line is:
/dev/hda4 /d vfat auto 0 0
this has worked in the past. with 9.1 too, it works, but with some a wierd limitation.
i am able to mount the partition as root. when i try to access files (e.g. when i do ls) as another user, i keep getting the error message "pemission denied" for all many normal files. even in directories, i am not able to view their contents.
any suggestions ?
thanx
