RE: [expert] Read/Write permissions on a VFAT partition
To enable Write to FAT partitions: addd to /etc/fstab an entry for your FAT line that is "umask=0". This will then allow non-root users to write to FAT.

Submitted 03-Jan-01 by duane voth: Woah, hold on, do you mean to say that umask now also controls the permissions of mounted filesystems?! (and I *presume* that umask must be set *prior* to running mount) On filesystems like vfat which do not have support for permissions.

Re: [expert] Read/Write permissions on a VFAT partition
Klar Brian D Contr MSG SICN wrote: umask=0 No umask is for setting the default permissions for files you *create*, it doesn't change the access you have to existing files. More then likely Jon, you will need to be root to write to the filesystem, or if there is a way to mount the vfat from a normal user account then that user will likely have permissions to write to it. duane I have a vfat partition (win98) mounted but cannot seem to get permissions to write to it.
