Q: "dmask" and "fmask" mount options

user2650973I tried this command to mount manually : sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/external -o uid=1000,gid=1000,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137 I am not getting what dmask and fmask does here. I know they are used to set up permissions, but when I check permissions of files and folders inside the mounted...

mount permissions user-mode-linux

I used fmask and dmask to do the same.

Can you ckeck if my version of mount did the job?

Are you sure that my mount command did not work?

I will learn something new too. ;-)

Feel free to edit my answer to add those commands.

So, if I solved your issue, mark it as answer so that it will help others who may have your same problems!

mount is also simple. Just type:
mount /dev/sdxd /path/to/mp
daltonfury42
May 21, 2016 18:12
unmounting would be simple as typing:
sudo umount /path/to/mpuntpoint
daltonfury42
May 21, 2016 18:10
Just use the mount command.
daltonfury42
May 21, 2016 18:10
That would be an overkill

You don't have to open gparted for doing it.

You can mount any 'block storage device'.

I saw your question.

@dhaneku.b Did I solve your issue?
daltonfury42
May 20, 2016 05:05
So to answer your question, yes! You use the mountpoint to read and write to the pendrive.

To see this in action, plug in your USB, also open a few partitions(drives as said in windows land) on your hard drive (ex. your Windows partition). Then in the terminal type lsblk

When you plug in a flash drive, it is automatically mounted by the OS in a folder under /media/<your-username>/
daltonfury42
May 20, 2016 04:38
But in linux, there is no such thing as "my computer". You can mount any device anywhere and use the device by going to that location.
daltonfury42
May 20, 2016 04:37
In windows, when you plug in a USB, it comes in "My Computer".
daltonfury42
May 20, 2016 04:37
@dhaneku.b You must be coming from windows?

@dhaneku.b Any empty folder in which you wish the contents of your flash drive to appear.
daltonfury42
May 19, 2016 20:24
So now you are able to compile and run your code from codeblocks? It has not been ejected. You can get the contents of the flash drive by going to the mount point that you gave when you manually remounted it(path/to/mount/point).

You got the device wrong, it should probably be /dev/sdb1 not /dev/sbd1

See, you are getting a timeout. So you need to contact your network admin and he will solve it for you. There is nothing you can do about it.

You are welcome. Next time you need some help, format your answers, post only relevant information and you will get quick help.

What do you do actually? Are you a software engineer? Which company do you work for?

Or here are some more good suggestions: askubuntu.com/questions/127326/how-to-fix-missing-gpg-keys Just google around.

Apr 13, 2016 10:17
But in your case you need to contact your network admin in france to allow your computer to connect to the hkp server.

So just sent a mail to the chaps in France to help you update the gpg keys.
daltonfury42
Apr 13, 2016 10:06
Either someone is doing something very bad with your system or hopefully, you need to update your gpg keys.

Apr 13, 2016 09:45
I don't see any issue here.

Press Y!

You can disable signature checking if you want. But it is dangerous and you may end up loosing your job.

Outbound connections seem to be blocked on 11371. 11371 not 1137
daltonfury42
Apr 13, 2016 09:23
I am sure the admins will help you with if you tell them that it is for updating gpg keys.
daltonfury42
Apr 13, 2016 09:22
Can you get the server admins in france to open up TCP port no. 11371?
daltonfury42
Apr 13, 2016 09:20
So the machine in question is in France?
daltonfury42
Apr 13, 2016 09:19
Where are you located?
daltonfury42
Apr 13, 2016 09:18
What is your setup? Do you have access to the proxy server?
