Hi linux folk.

I am running redhat 7.3
I partitioned my harddrive into three 32 G vfat partitions and one 56 G
ext3. For some reason I have not been able to write to the vfat partitions
except as root. This is starting to bug me.

I have checked the permissions and changed the mount point to 777
Still no luck

Any suggestions

regards
Hope you can help me

Pete
