Hello,
I recently installed a new Slackware9.0 Linux system. As a result, my 2
Windows (vfat) partitions are unreadable by a regular user. On my previous
Slackware8.0 system, I had no problems. Here is output from fstab, fdisk
and mount
fstab
/dev/hda1 /dosc vfat defaults 1 1
/dev/hda10 /dosd vfat defaults 1 1
fdisk
/dev/hda1 * 1 1786 14346013+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda10 4761 4864 835348+ b Win95 FAT32
mount
/dev/hda1 on /dosc type vfat (rw)
/dev/hda10 on /dosd type vfat (rw)
In an effort to figure this out, I unmounted /dosc and /dosd and I deleted
the directories /dosc and /dosd and recreated them. Here is what they look
like
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 17 09:56 dosc/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 17 09:56 dosd/
But when I mount /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda10, I get this:
drwxr--r-- 17 root root 8192 Dec 31 1969 dosc/
drwxr--r-- 6 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 dosd/
Notice that the permissions change from 755 to 744. Why? Is this my
problem? Can anybody suggest what I try next?
Thank you in advance,
Paul
