In the line in your fstab, do you see where all the other options are, with commas between them? The part that says: "umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850"? Try adding ",uid=501,gid=501" to those. Leaving you with a line like this in your fstab: # 1 2 3 4(!) /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,uid=501,gid=501 0 0 > and also the mount options for fat, and neither there nor there it > is said what the right place should be for the uid and gid options. In the middle of the fstab man-page it says: "The fourth field, (fs_mntops), describes the mount options associated with the filesystem. It is formatted as a comma separated list of options. It contains at least the type of mount plus any additional options appropriate to the filesystem type. For documentation on the available options for non- nfs file systems, see mount(8). For documentation on all nfs-specific options have a look at nfs(5). Common for all types of file system are the options ``noauto'' (do not mount when "mount -a" is given, e.g., at boot time), ``user'' (allow a user to mount), and ``owner'' (allow device owner to mount), and ``comment'' (e.g., for use by fstab-main- taining programs). The ``owner'' and ``comment'' options are Linux- specific. For more details, see mount(8)." Best regards, -- "Remember, Robert, in life anything can happen." Adam Sjøgren asjo@koldfront.dk
