Hi list, when I mount a fat partition at boot up (with /etc/fstab), the partition/mount point will be read only for the normal users. I specified explicitely the rw option in fstab but the mount point remained read only. Then I tried chmod a=rwx <mountpoint> as root but the mount point remained read only. I currently use 3.1 FreeBSD Release and intend to upgrade to 3.2. Is there any possible risk of loosing the installation? If anybody does know any answer to both problems, I would gratefully appreciate if he/she could share it with me.
