From: Conrad Sabatier To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: fstab options for unrestricted access to vfat partition Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I feel really stupid asking this, but anyway... Can anyone suggest the correct options to use in /etc/fstab to mount my DOS drive read/write *without* any permissions problems? Ideally, I would like to "own" the drive as user "conrads", while still restricting access for other users, but I'd even settle for completely open access. Right now, I have only the "rw" option in fstab, and am unable to read and/or write certain files. I notice the "arch" flag is set on most of my dirs/files. How can I get full access to the drive? Thanks. -- Conrad Sabatier Think of your family tonight. Try to crawl home after the computer crashes.
