[mlhazan]

Hi,
I already mounted my fat 32 drives.My problem is I can READ them but I can't write anything there.It seems i don't have the permission.My fstab shows as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda6 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0


/dev/hda1 /mnt/winXP vfat umask=000,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,users 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/volume vfat defaults,umask=0 0 0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I used mount -a on the terminal but didn't work.Any sugeestion?
Please Help me.

By default default is read only. Make it rw,user. So for example try

/dev/hda5 /mnt/volume vfat rw,user 1 0

Yes. By default it is readonly. You can try the following

/dev/hda1 /mnt/winXP vfat defaults 0 0

The above works on my machine. However, if you want to write anything to the fat32 WinXP partition, you need to have root privileges (with the above line). Changing 'defaults' to 'rw, user' will allow all users to be able to write to the windows partition.

umask controls Regular Users access and defaults include rw too. There is no need to add rw,user or anything like that. defaults,umask=0 will take care of everything.

By default default is read only. Make it rw,user. So for example try
Code:

/dev/hda5 /mnt/volume vfat rw,user 1 0

Why are you suggesting to set dump value?

/dev/hda1 /mnt/winXP vfat umask=000,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,users 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/volume vfat defaults,umask=0 0 0

Options are correct for /dev/hda5. Aren't all users able to read n write in /mnt/volume folder?
Set the same options for /dev/hda1. All users will have write access to /mnt/winXP folder.

Post the output of fdisk -l command.
