Note that > you need x on directories in order to cd to them I might try an entry like that. But consider the entry below for my home directory: /dev/hdb7/homereiserfs acl,user_xattr1 2 I don't know what "acl,user_xattr" means. But what if I added that entry to my Windows partition. Do you think that would work without ruining something? Thank you. Bob ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
[vox-tech] Request for help: CVS modifications for accelerating software development
Hello, I am writing to the list in hopes of finding talented hackers here in the Davis area that I can learn from. I am in the early stages of an effort to utilize "information currency" to organize software development more efficiently, and I am looking for people to help me modify the CVS source code. More generally, I am a novice software developer hoping to learn from experts. To elaborate, I have recently released software (available from http://sf.net/projects/infoeng and http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/infoeng/icws-0.0.1.tar.gz?download ) that enables one to create digital "instruments of economic scarcity" from any unit of underlying information using a persistent network identifier (i.e. URI) and a digest value for the underlying information. These instruments of economic scarcity will make it possible for the creators of intellectual property to reap economic rewards for their efforts in new ways, and will provide further incentives for individuals to share their creative work freely with the public. My intermediate goal is to modify the source code for CVS so that every committed patchset returns an information currency series that can be used to determine the economic value of the patchset, but to do that will require a lot of CVS hacking. So, this is an invitation to participate. I am certain that there is enormous potential for accelerating software development by new economic means, but there is a lot of work to do to make that possibility a reality. Can anyone here help? If you're interested, email me or subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/infoeng-devel) to discuss this further. Thanks! J.

My fstab entry > for this is: > > /dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat umask=0 0 0 If you're using Kernel 2.4, you should use umask and showexec. If you're using Kernel 2.6, you should use fmask and dmask. In either case, you can avoid making the partition world-writable (or readable if you so choose) by using the uid and gid options. Here's an fstab entry I have on 2.6: /dev/hda6 /home/bloom/vfat vfat defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=177,dmask=077 0 2 Note that in a real fstab file, that would all be on one line. This gives me rw--- on files and rwx-- on directories. Note that you need x on directories in order to cd to them --Ken Bloom -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.

Does anybody know if it is possible for a mere user to write to Windows files, and if so what FSTAB entry will enable this? A quick Google search came up with something that looks of use: "Share Partitions Between Linux and Windows HOWTO" http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/partition-share-HOWTO.html Right, I guess the umask option is the key. My fstab entry for this is: /dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat umask=0 0 0 Yes, something like this works fine for mounting fat partions. My entry is more involved for some semblence of security: /dev/hda8 /DataPart vfat defaults,uid=win,gid=win,umask=0020 0 This way only users in the "win" group can write to the partion. Bob doesn't explicitly say, though, whether his windows partion is FAT32 or NTFS. If it's NTFS, the above fstab lines won't work.
