How to change permissions of the entire windows partition in Linux? I have the Ubuntu package installed on my computer and the /fs/ are fat32.
Actually there is no point in changing the permissions after the partition is mounted because the permissions wont be retained. If yuo want to mount the partition with certain permissions then check mount's options flag.
You can use mount options to set permissions or alternatively specify the options in fstab if the partition is mounted at boot. The below link should help giving you a pointer on how to do it. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2006-May/msg03912.html
