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?

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.

Anyone know where I can ask RH 9 related questions.
I feel rather stupid asking them here.
