SDB:Mount a DOS partition with all permissions for users
Request:
How to mount a DOS partition with the possibility to give the permissions to all users to read and write on this partition?
How is a "normal" user able to mount a filesystem?
Procedure:
In the file /etc/fstab
you can enter the mount option umask
, to extend the permission access mask for all users:
/dev/sda1 /dosc msdos umask=000
To allow all users to mount a filesystem it is necessary to add the following option in the file /etc/fstab
:
/dev/sda1 /dosc msdos user,umask=000
The option user
does the required. If a user is able to mount a filesystem it isn't possible per default to start programs from this filesystem. To change this use the option exec
as follows:
/dev/sda1 /dosc msdos user,exec,umask=000
Afterwards a "normal" user is allowed to mount or umount a DOS filesystem and to start programs from this filesystem further on they have read and write permissions on this filesystem. <keyword>dos,msdos,umask,mount,fstab,vfat32,mount,filesystem,user,root,permissions</keyword>
