How do I mount a usb drive (fat32) rw for all users?
Hello,
I have a USB drive formatted as fat32 that I would like to be
writeable by all users.
I was used on Linux that all fat drives were automatically rw by all
users but not so on Netbsd.
Assuming the drive is sd1e, I have mounted it as:
(I am writing from Windows now, so I am recalling)
# mount /dev/sd1e /mnt
but I get permission errors when trying to save files on it as non root.
I thought I could mount it like this:
# mount_msdos -u 777 /dev/sd1e /mnt
In this case I get no errors, but actually the files are not saved.
I remember once mounting it successfully with the option:
# mount_msdos -u ottavio /dev/sd1e /mnt
where 'ottavio' is my regular user, but it didn't work.
I am surely missing something obvious, but I need your help with this.
Thanks
