Writting to a vfat HD
I am running Knoppix 3.2 from the CD on a pentium III system, with Windows millenium.
I am having problems saving stuff to my HD on /dev/hda2 mounted on /mnt/hda2. I get messages stating that the filesystem is read only.
I tried as root to change the file permission of the location I was trying to save to with chmod 777 SOMEFOLDER and I got the same message, that the filesystem is read only.
I looked at /etc/fstab, but I really do not know how or where it is specified that my HD has to be mounted as a read only filesystem; here it is:
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
pts /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/auto/floppy auto user,noauto,exec,umask=000 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/auto/cdrom auto user,noauto,exec,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/auto/cdrom1 auto users,noauto,exec,ro 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 auto noauto,users,exec 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppi x 0 0
Any ideas. Thank you.

I'm not in the habit of using Knoppix from the CD but I do believe it is possible to right click the icon representing your particular partition and select "read/write".

You may need to 'umount' first before you can change read only to read/write.

Re: Writting to a vfat HD
' mount /mnt/hda2 -oremount,rw ' as root. chmod won't work with a non-*NIX filesystem like fat32 or ntfs.

the libranet link shows you how they set up a windows partition so it is writable;
they use:
defaults,umask=002,...

Thank you.
I tried right clicking the hda2 icon, then properties... and then unchecking the READ ONLY box.... duuuuuh!
Thank you again.
