Re: [expert] Mounting vfat partitions without exec permission
After mounting my FAT32 partitions, all the files are marked executable. How can I mount them so that normal (non-directory) files are non-executable? In addition, I only want root to have write permission. All other users should only have read permission. Currently, I mounted with noexec option. But the files still appear to with permission -rwxrwxrwx. TIA. Cheers, Jeremy i have no win$ partition on my box, so i'm not sure of the answer. but as i can remember, you can set permissions on your FAT32 partitions by specifying umask in /etc/fstab for each of them. if you want all files with 644 (or -rw-r--r--) then umask=133 some can correct me if it's wrong... The moment I set umask with the execute bit turned on, all users cannot even cd into those vfat directories. However, root still can and the permissions are what I wanted -rw-r--r-- for regular files. What options will set the mounted partitions to have the following permissions: -rw-r--r-- root root for regular files drwxr-xr-x root root for directories I remembered I could do this in Mandrake 8.0 with the options noexec,mode=644 in /etc/fstab. However, in 8.1, this option doesn't seem to work for vfat patitions. However, it works for iso9660 for /dev/cdrom though. Cheers, J Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
