FAT32 RW problems

[Camuzat Sebastien]

Hi Saru,
Thanks for your support !

No I cannot write to this partition as root.
Ive tried your mounting entry without success.

I think that has occured after several trials to share
repertories with samba, within my home network.
So for a try,  I disabled samba once, but did not
succeed neither.

My initial fstab entry was the same as with my wife's
laptop under breezy, and she can normally R/W.

I did not try with ouinedoz because I never loginto
:-) but I'll have a look :-(.
