Lost user access to dos partition
The following used to work before changing to testing:
[as user]
cd /dosd
In which /dosd is an ms-dos partition (containing my mp3's).
/etc/fstab says:
/dev/hda5 /dosd vfat defaults,user,rw 0 1
But after the upgrade I get
jws@spica:~$ cd /dosd
-bash: cd: /dosd: Permission denied
I seem to lack execute permission on the directory.
/dosd is a mount point; when the device /dev/hda5 is *not* mounted
on it, ls -al shows
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 28 21:35 dosd
However when it *is* mounted I get
drwxr--r-- 13 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 dosd
A very ancient date. Strange. And the permissions have changed, as
a result, apparently, of mounting the device onto this mount
point. Anyway, now I can run xmms only when I am root. It used to
work fine before the upgrade. Anyone knows what is the matter here?
Regards, Jan
