Hey.
So i have a (what seems to me) incredibly odd error. When i try to write to one of my vfat partitions (/thepit), i get the error:
Code:
[root@cpe thepit]# mkdir folderforstuff
mkdir: cannot create directory `folderforstuff': Read-only file system
when i write to my other vfat partition, it works just fine
the weird part is that they are both set up exactly the same! and yet, for some reason, one works and the other doesn't.
here's my fstab:
Code:
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda2 /boneyard vfat rw,noauto,user,owner,uid=500,gid=500,umask=0000 0 0
/dev/devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb3 /thepit vfat rw,noauto,user,owner,uid=500,gid=500,umask=0000 0 0
LABEL=SWAP-hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
as you can see, i have them both set up equally. "/boneyard" works but "/thepit" doesn't.
and finally:
Code:
[root@cpe /]# ls -l

they both show the same permissions but for some reason the dates are different? i don't exactly know what those dates are supposed to mean but i just reformatted my computer twice today so i assume they should all be Nov 16.
any help would be more than greatly appreciated.
thanks for looking...
