I'm running FC5 and gnome on a machine dual booting with Windows

would like to read from/write to a Windows vfat partition. I've added
this line to /etc/fstab:
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/win vfat rw,noatime,uid=500,gid=500,user 0 0
Then, also as root:
mkdir /mnt/win
chmod 777 /mnt/win
In linux, I can now read from the /mnt/win directory but can't write to
it without root privileges. How should I set the privileges on this
directory so that I can write to it as a user? Are the mount parameters
in fstab correct?
Thanks for the help! --Jerry
Do you just want UID 500 to have access, or all users? I would use
something this to let all users have access.
/dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0,user,noexec 0 0
