Re: [vox-tech] Can a User Write To Windows Partition?
Each file system type has its own set of options. Adding those extra options probably won't affect a VFAT partition in anyway (it'll probably be ignored.) `man mount` has the list of standard file systems and the options applicable for each FS. Good luck! -Mark PS: acl = access control list, user_xattr = User extended attributes... neither feature is available on VFAT. I've never seen user extended attributes but ACL is used kind of like the standard UNIX user/group permissions control but it gives you extended features. Never used it much but the UC Davis EE department uses it on their network. On Sat, 11 Dec 2004, Robert G.

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.

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.
