This isn't a redhat-specific message but... Could
anyone help me out here with setting this up to work?
I have a dual boot system (laptop) with Win98 and RH.
I have VMWare 2.0Beta that I have been trying to setup
to use the preinstalled windoze 98. I created a new
group called vmware and added root and myself to its
members. I would like to assign /dev/hda1, my windoze
partition, to the vmware group and give read/write
access to the vmware members (myself and root). I
created this group, unmounted /win (dev/hda1), edited
fstab to have:
/dev/hda1 /win vfat vmware,auto 0 0 as the
appropriate fstab entry. I then remounted /win but the
group assignment remains root. I then tried to chgrp
of /win recursively using chgrp -R vmware /win (as root)
but I get a message that I (root) am not a member of
the vmware group. Am too! Am too!
If I look at /etc/group I see "vmware::503:root,patrick"
so I AM a member of that group.
What is the deal? I do not want to waste disk space with
a needless virtual disk for ANOTHER install of Win98 just
for vmware use...I want to use the already extant win98.
Do I need to change the group of /dev/hda1 itself?
