[WBEL-users] vfat permissions

[Daniel J. Summers]

Good evening.

I'm in the process of rebuilding my WBEL, and I'm stuck with vfat 
permissions.  I know you can't do chmod or chown on their mount points, 
but I can't remember what settings I had.  Basically, I want it 
wide-open (rwxrwxrwx).  (I've got MySQL's data directory there and 
Apache's html directory, both of which seem to want more permissions 
than they've got.)

Before, I had created a mount point of /mnt/drive_d for this drive.  
Under this installation, I changed that to /home/summersd/drive_d, so I 
could easily make a "documents" directory that I could access from WBEL 
and WXP.  Here's the current (non-working) fstab entry...

/dev/hdb1 /home/summersd/drive_d vfat 
owner,user,rw,exec,suid,umask=0,uid=summersd,gid=summersd 1 2

I've tried umask=000, umask=777, fmask & dmask=0777, 777, 000...  I'm 
guessing the suid parameter is moot, since vfat doesn't support that - 
catting /etc/mtab doesn't show it as a parameter that's taken.

Thanks...
