I have a HP Microserver gen 8 that i'm using as a NAS at my home, with Centos 7.

And i just got a new hard disk 2 TB, after i installed it in the bay, and rebooted the system.

I've used fdisk to make the partition, and after that i used: mkfs -t vfat /dev/sda1 to create fat32.

after i mounted : mount /dev/sda1 /nas

i can access it with root user and create folders .. etc, but when i access it (from SSH not samba) with my user (which is samba user also) i can only read, i can't create folders, files ... etc.

result of fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disk label type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x3833350a

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1            2048  3907029167  1953513560   83  Linux

result of ls -ld /nas:

drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 32K Nov  5 16:42 /nas

What can i do, so my user can have permissions on this mounted /nas ?

Best would be to add some mount options for the vfat filesystem like umask or uid/gid.

The uid mount option gives a specific user the access on the mountpoint.

mount -o uid=user,gid=group /dev/vdd /mnt

Adding umask=0 would give write access to anyone.

mount -o uid=user,gid=group,umask=0 /dev/vdd /mnt
