Drive one is removable and all FreeBSD. Drive two is fat32 formatted and allows me to share between FBSD and Win98. fstab: # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s1f /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1e /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad1s1 /dos msdos rw 2 2 /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 I added the ad1s1 line. Not sure if this was the correct dev, but it lets me see that drive. Iam unable to write to this drive as a normal user. ls -dl /dos drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16384 Dec 31 1979 dos My user is part of the wheel group so I tried to use chmod. Running chmod as root user. chmod 774 /dos ls -dl /dos drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16384 Dec 31 1979 dos Nothing changes. I want to be able to write to this drive as a normal user/wheel. Tried using mount_msdos using the man page to no avail. Thoughts? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
