(Problem was I didn't know its make. ad3s1 eventually worked.) Now it seems I can't make it writable by anyone but root: diva# ls -l viv.html -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1987 Jul 4 05:21 viv.html diva# chmod g+w viv.html diva# ls -l viv.html -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1987 Jul 4 05:21 viv.html diva# chmod a+w viv.html diva# ls -l viv.html -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1987 Jul 4 05:21 viv.html Same for any files. Is this some sort of FAT32 limitation? Is this documented anywhere? - d. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
