Linux directory rights

[Michael_Cologne]

I have a Linux 8.0 System. I want to set the rights of a logical volume to 777. I take " chmod 777 /data_tmp" but it dosn??t work.

Hi,
you have to be root for doing that.
If you changing the permissions of logical volume ( file system ). specify it in /etc/fstab as rw .
man fstab

I have root permissions and in the fstab is the rw entry for this lv. it is a "fat32" filesystem on it, because I want to access from a w2k system over nfs.

Hi,
what is the output of chmod command ?.
Any errrors ?

There are no errors. If I take zhe command in verbose mode, I take the output "Pemissions are changed" but there aren??t changed.....

Check the documentation for mount. You will need to clear
the umask for the volume. Try adding 'umask=0' to the fstab
entry.
