Last week I posted about being unable to change perms on my fat32 partition, mounted as /windows by root. Perms were originally displayed as: drwxr-xr-x Following suggestions here, I added the following to the line in fstab: umask=777 Following a umount and mount, I then got perms like this: d--------- >From the documentation, I understood that it was supposed to be the same as with chmod. I did: mkdir test chmod 777 test and it produced: drwxrwxrwx which is what I want, except on the /windows directory. What did I do wrong this time?
