 Posted: Thu Aug 22, 2002 5:20 am Post subject: FAT32 permissions problem: owner cannot delete/mv file? |
 |
|
I use a fat32 partition for storage in gentoo, because I used it for storage when I still used windows.
Its fstab entry is as follows:
| Code: | | /dev/hda5 /mnt/wind vfat users,exec,suid,uid=1000,gid=100,rw,umask=0777 0 0 |
Here is the ls -l output for the example file on the partition, /mnt/wind/pics/2musheep.jpg, I am logged in as senor, who is uid=1000:
| Code: | | -rwxrwxrwx 1 senor users 13448 Apr 11 17:36 2musheep.jpg |
However, when I try to delete this file, I get:
| Code: | senor@memex pics $ rm -rf 2musheep.jpg
rm: cannot unlink `2musheep.jpg': Permission denied |
Moving the file to any other filename gives me a similar result. The permissions look like they should be ok. I can delete files as root fine, but not as senor, who is the owner. This doesn't make much sense to me, and I'd appreciate any help in resolving it.

Found two threads: One and Two.
Perhaps there is something in one of those. Specifically, I noticed: | Quote: | | umask=0 is the equivalent of chmod 777 |
As the topic has been covered, lets follow up here.
Locking this one.
