my /dev/sda8 fat32 partition mounted as /share is apparently read-only to all users. The purpose of this partition was to allow a share of files between Windows and Linux. Only Windows can seem to write to it where as Linux can only read from it. What steps should I take to share this mount with all users forever. [Edited by - Halsafar on September 28, 2005 8:52:21 PM]
I was able to solve the problem by modifying the /etc/fstab file like so:

/dev/sda8 /share vfat auto,owner,gid=windows,umask=0002,exec,rw 0 0

Then I created a group "windows" and added the users to it.
