No User Access To Hda3
« on: July 02, 2006, 12:20:16 pm »
During the installation process I partitioned the hardrive such that the /dev/hda3 part  (vfat formatted) is about 2.5 GB.  The disk mounts properly (per fstab) as /media/hdd.

The problem is that when I use GPE as a non-root user (e.g. "user"), I can not write to the /media/hdd.  I checked the ownerships and the /media/hdd drectory is owned by "root, root".

I can change the ownership to "user, user" after unmounting the /dev/hd3 but as soon as the disk gets re-mounted the ownership goes back to "root, root".

How can provide access to the /media/hdd to a non-rrot user?

I have edited the fstab file as follows:

/dev/hda3    /media/hdd    vfat   umask=000   0   0


Everything works now!
