If the "file system owner" is not equal to the user who is accessing the file system, some programs may generate unusual errors when modifying or creating files. This happens because all files that are created on the MS-DOS FS are implicitly chowned to the file system owner. Work-around: only the user who owns the file system should have write permission for it." ...so if you need to have access under some user then you have to mount it into dir where this user is an owner. It is obvious because MSDOS FS (FAT) doesn't support multiple users. Pavel > I've also performed a Windows XP to FreeBSD transfer > via Network using Samba.
