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.
AFAIK, sudo chmod u+/-wrx -R /media/windows should do it. u stands for user w stands for write r stands for read x stands for execute
- give
- take
-R recursive eg. sudo chmod u+r -R /media/windows to make all file in windows folder writeable by the user.
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.
