Hi all, I'm trying to mount a fat32 drive with the permissions so the right users (in the group "mine") can read & write to it. [root@roma /mnt]# l total 8 drwxrwxrwx 19 ben mine 4.0K Jan 1 13:21 downloads/ drwxrwxr-x 2 ben mine 512B Jan 1 17:31 drive/ The one I want to mount is "drive". I can mount it properly with mount_msdosfs: [root@roma /mnt]# mount_msdosfs -m 666 -M 777 /dev/ad3s1 /mnt/drive But I'm not sure how to get mount to call mount_msdosfs with the right params: [root@roma /mnt]# mount -t msdosfs -v -o '-m 666 -M 777' /dev/ad3s1 /mnt/drive mount_msdosfs: invalid file mode: 666 -M 777 I've tried various combinations of quoting around the -m and -M params with no luck. The end result is that I need to work out what to put in /etc/fstab to achieve those mount permissions for that drive (and I'm guessing that getting mount to pass the right params across is a start). This is on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE. I'm a bit of a newbie - this is my first FreeBSD install :) - Ben -- "Everybody generalizes from one example. At least, I do." - Steven Brust [dreamcafe.com]
