one to me, I'll be glad to find an answer :) ]

Here's part of my /etc/fstab:

...
/dev/hda1       /dos/c          msdos   defaults,umask=000
/dev/hda4       /dos/d          msdos   defaults,umask=000
...

The "umask=000" does the trick.

Also, the -o command line option to mount will do the same thing:

mount -t msdos /dev/hda8 /dos/g -o umask=000

1. 3rd and 4th IDE drive with Linux

--

I have a Gateway 2000 486 which has two IDE controllers built-in
to the motherboard.  I have hooked up 3 drives to it and it
works well under DOS and OS/2.  But under Linux, I don't know
how to access the thrid drive.  All I see under /dev is
/dev/hda* and /dev/hdb*.  How can I get to /dev/hdc* ?
Can I mknod them?  

One other question, is there any way to change the permission on
the dos file partition so that everybody can read and write to them?
I have, for example, /hda3 mounted as /dosc.  I cannot
"chmod 777 /dosc" so that all users can read and write to it.  Any
suggestion?

Thanks for the help.
