ok, I changed the entry in fstab to: /dev/sda8 /windows/G
vfat ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
and I am still getting the same message.
I went to the web site about samba previously posted and I took a piece of
code for fstab: "defaults,gid=101,umask=007 0 0" to replace:
"ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0" so it works now but I need to
know what I did.
ok, what you had before was:
ro - read only :-) (not what you wanted at all)
gid=users - is the name of a group. That 'gid=101' is the number that
group 'users' had on my system 8 years ago when I wrote that Samba
help-page. If names are now accepted then I'd try 'gid=users'. (look
at your /etc/passwd entry, the 4th field is the numeric group-id, now
look at /etc/group and you will see the name for that number)
nls=utf8 - use UTF-8 for converting filenames. Sounds like a good
thing :-)
umask=0002 - owner has all access, group has all access, others have
read-access.
users - allow anyone to mount/unmount (otherwise only root can do it)
my umask=007 means owner+group have all access, others have no
access. The 0002 value might be better.
for 'defaults', do a 'man mount'.
