Samba VFAT Permissions
« on: May 15, 2004, 06:10:32 AM »
I have installed RedHat Linux9 as Server and I have Configured Samba for Windows File Sharing.I am having two Fat Partitions on My Hdd and I have shared them in Samba.Here I am facing a problem that i can't get the write permission on that Two Partitions.I have mounted the two partitions and i have updated them in /etc/fstab Like

/dev/sda1     /vol1     vfat  defaults   0 0
/dev/sda5     /vol2     vfat  defaults   0 0

May i know how to give the permissions for that two partitions to write.
Kindly help me.

You can chown of ur mount directory or chmod it to access the users that can be read and write to it
chmod +rw /MOUNTPOINT_OF_HDD
chown  nobody /MOUNTPOINT_OF_HDD

Hai, In /etc/fstab,i have found one solution by mounting the Partitions like i

/dev/sda1    /win  vfat user,exec,rw,umask=000  0 0

Here i can get write permission for all users by disabling umask.But i can't change any setting to change the group or changing the file permissions.Is there any solution for that?
