Shared Windows/Linux Drive Problems

['Forum Post]

Thanx Leo,

i've been searching on this problem also.



My problem is a bit more tricky: I'd like to mount my vfat (shared with
xp) as /home



With various possibilities

fstab for example:

/dev/hda7  /home   vfat uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=002,dmask=002,owner  0 
0



or

/dev/hda7 /data  vfat
uid=1000,gid=vfataccess,dmask=0002,fmask=0113,user  0    0



(as you told, i inserted uid=1000 to have the user as the owner of the
filesystem)



i manage to mount it and to have read/write access. Furthermore the
owner can be defined as well as de group.



Anyway i get errors like "$home/.dmrc has wrong permissions. should
have 644 permissions and owner should be user"



and "set mode 0700 for .ICE-authority fails"



and various others.



How would you adress this?



I'd be grateful for any help...



cheers, philipp
