Pbs of disk access

[Eric Tanguy]

I mount a vfat disk during the boot process with this line in /etc/fstab
:
/dev/sda1		/mnt/storex		vfat	users 0 0
The problem is that i can't access it in rw mode as user. I think i's a
normal security issue but if i remember is is possible possible to
enable it in rw mode for user using umask= but i can't remember and
refind it. Could we help me ?
Thanxes
Eric

man mount --> vfat filesystem part

"umask=002" to allow write permission everyone

Does anyone know if there is a umask which would leave directories "x"
for user and group but not ordinary files? I currently use

users,gid=users,umask=007

in /etc/fstab for a couple of vfat partitions that I want access to, but
it is (only a very slight) annoyance that that also makes files have
permissions -rwxrwx--- whereas I would prefer that for directories and
have only -rw-rw---- for ordinary files.

Any suggestions?

Best, Darren

Why is that a problem for you? It is just cosmetic because FAT
partitions mounted does know nothing about execution permissions - it
does not matter whether an ordinary file is chmod 660 or 770. Use Linux
filesystems if you wish to control permissions which are common on *NIX
systems ;)

Yes, I completely admit that. That's why I said it was only a very minor
annoyance. If there was a simple workaround it would have satisfied my
sense of tidiness. If there isn't it doesn't matter.

Yes, kernel series 2.6 support separate specification of directory and
file masks. dmask and fmask, if I recall correctly.

Thanks. That was exactly what I was looking for, and works perfectly.
