But why? We saw that the permissions were all right.

I tried to do the same, but:

[rodolfo@localhost rodolfo]$ dd if=/dev/null of=disk.img bs=1k count=1024
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
[rodolfo@localhost rodolfo]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost rodolfo]# mount disk.img /mnt/floppy/ -t vfat -o loop=/dev/loop3,blocksize=1024,umask=0
mount: permission denied

. How can a permission be denied to root?

I did:

[rodolfo@localhost rodolfo]$ id
uid=501(rodolfo) gid=501(rodolfo) groups=501(rodolfo)

, then in my /etc/fstab I changed the line:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850 0 0

into:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850 0 0,uid=501,gid=501

. Is that what you meant? Then I rebooted the computer.
But now the command 'ls -l /mnt' gave:

drwxr--r--  30 root root 16384 gen  1  1970 windows/

This looks very very strange to me.
I connected to internet, launched emacs, opened uo gnus,
and whan I tried to enter the nnml group it said:

Unable to contact server: Couldn't create directory: /mnt/windows/mail-prova

. I'm lost.
Please, any other hint?

Rodolfo
