I have a fat partition that contains an assortment of files. Currently it is set up so that I can read and write to it with my user account.

Ideally I want all users to be able to do this.

Here's my fstab:

# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/ad4s4b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad4s4a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad4s4e /home ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad4s4f /usr ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad4s4d /var ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad4s8 /content msdosfs rw,-u=J_Tiger 0 0
/dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto

I've been searching for a solution, and putting "rw,-u=J_Tiger", under options was all I found.

What are the permissions on the /content directory itself?

ls -ld /content

Make the /content directory accessible to the world using chmod and remove the -u option from /etc/fstab. You may also want to enable the longnames option if you need it.

Just set the permissions. Solved. Thanks.
