Can't create directory on mount FAT drive

Re: Can't create directory on mount FAT drive

Argh! I hate it when people do this!

It would be too easy


Checking rights

What says:

ls -l /media/

Here, my fat folder:

drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 4096 2007-05-17 15:34 fat

that means:
d directory
rwx owner can read, write and execute
rwx group can can read, write and execute
rwx others can can read, write and execute

I had never tried the 4 digit thing either.

Just to rule out the "obvious": could you please post your system's response to

more /etc/mtab | grep /media/pmp

Mumble, mumble ... and:

ls -l /media | grep pmp

drwxrwxrwx 8 root root 32768 1969-12-31 19:00 pmp0642

I am trying to create a folder in the audio subdirectory

drwxrwxrwx 432 root root 32768 2007-09-10 10:42 audio

Checking, one of the changes seems to have worked. The permissions are correct and I can create a directory. My current fstab entry looks like this:

/dev/sda1 /media/pmp0642 vfat auto,umask=0000 0 0
