Q1) When I mount my USB flash drive I can only write to the
drive as root. I logged in as root and tried to change
permissions for all users to RWE (777?), but I get a message
that says that I don't have permission to change permissions
on the flash drive. I thought root was god, so my wild guess
is that there is something wrong with my entry for sda1 in
fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/removable auto auto,user,rw 0 0
Make the line look something like this:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/removable auto owner,user,umask=000 0 0
umask is the opposite of chmod so 000 gives full permissions to all
users.
