Hi, I trying to create symbolic link as a user in my /mnt/windows directory - vfat. But all the time a have permission denied Any ideas, entry in my /etc/stab looks like: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat user,iocharset=iso8859-1,rw,nodev,uid=501,suid,umask=000,gid=501,exec 0 0 Thank you.

That's not a symbolic link, that's more like a "file system mount". You have to use mount /dev/hda1 This is how my fstab looks like: /dev/hda8 /mnt/hdtemp vfat auto,users,umask=0000,rw 0 0 You have to put "users" if you want anyone to mount it (not just user). I think I read that somewhere in the man pages. Try the line I put above (changing correspondinly) and the use mount and see what happen. The auto will mount it automaticly every time you boot.

FAT does not support symbolic links, therefore you wont be able to create any on a FAT partition.

I'm sorry. Maybe I explain si pporly before. But I can mount easily without any problems. Problem is, what I'm trying to do ln -s in my /mnt/wundows "file system" after it successfully mounted and it doesn't work.

What file type is /mnt/windows? If it is FAT or NTFS you wont be able to create a symbolic link on it. You can create one pointing to a file on FAT but not the other way round, ie: # ln -s /mnt/windows/foobar /home/user/ will work but # ln -s /home/user/foobar /mnt/windows/ wont.
