Hi,
I am running a fully update Debian Sid linux with 2.6.7 kernel. I am mounting a CompactFlash partition through my PCMCIA adaptor as
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mount -t vfat -o umask=022 /dev/hde1 /cf
The umask allows users to read and write to the /cf partition. However, I cannot figure out how to create user-owned directories.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cf# ls -ld /cf drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 16384 Oct 31 11:09 /cf [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cf# mkdir /cf/zender [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cf# chown zender zender chown: changing ownership of `zender': Operation not permitted [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cf# ls -ld zender drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 Oct 31 11:09 zender
zender is a valid user account on this machine, why can't root changed ownership of zender directory to zender?
Is there a mount option that I need to set? While I'm at it, how do I enable a user to mount and own the whole /cf partition?
Any help appreciated, Charlie -- Charlie Zender, [EMAIL PROTECTED], (949) 824-2987, Department of Earth System Science, University of California, Irvine CA 92697-3100
