Summary:
Its been so long since I mounted a dos partition I've forgotten the
incantations in /etc/fstab that will make it writable to users or at
least designated users.
Details:
I've tried these with results of `mount' shown along with end result:
fstab:
[...]
/dev/hda12 /mnt/vfat_32 vfat noauto,user hgp 0 0
[...]
mount shows:
[mntent]: line 3 in /etc/fstab is bad
mount: can't find /mnt/vfat_32 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
==
fstab:
[...]
/dev/hda12 /mnt/vfat_32 vfat noauto,user,hgp 0 0
[...]
mount shows:
/dev/hda12 on /mnt/vfat_32 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,hgp)
hgp cannot write to /mnt/vfat_32
==
fstab:
[...]
/dev/hda12 /mnt/vfat_32 vfat noauto,userhgp 0 0
[...]
mount shows:
/dev/hda12 on /mnt/vfat_32 type vfat (rw,userhgp)
user hgp cannot write there
==========
Permissions are set like:
Unmounted
ls -ld /mnt/vfat_21
drwxr-xr-x 6 hgp hgp 1024 Dec 31 1969 /mnt/vfat_32
mounted
ls -ld /mnt/vfat_21
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 1024 Dec 31 1969 /mnt/vfat_32
And of course cannot be set to a user when mounted.
