[Solved] Mounting FAT32 partion RW?
Posts: 9
I'm dual booting, have my hard disk partitioned as follows:
hda1: 10 GB NTFS (Windows)
hda5: 60 GB FAT32 (General Storage)
hda6: 4 GB EXT3 (Mepis)
hda7: 1 GB Swap
The problem is, I can't get my Storage partition to mount RW for general usage. Root can write to it, but standard access is read only. Here is my fstab entry:
/dev/hda5 /media/storage vfat auto,users,exec 0 0
And yes, I've moved it up to the static entries part of the file.
Thanks in advance for help.

If memory serves me correct ...

If I recall correctly (am not at my Mepis PC at the moment), this is what I would use for all users to access my FAT drive as read/write:
/dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5 vfat auto,gid=100,umask=0000,exec 0 0
(assuming 100 is the id of the standard 'users' group) 
Thanks for the tips, Wayne's

Thanks for the tips, Wayne's suggestion worked for me. Seems the "uid=100" part (that's the major difference to what I had) did the trick.
