Hi All, I use a SUSE 9.3 distribution that has hotplug installed. When I plug an external Hard Disk, I have only ready only user access and read write access as root. changing the parameters in the file /etc/sysconfig/hotplug does not help: HOTPLUG_DO_MOUNT="manual" HOTPLUG_MOUNT_TYPE="fstab" HOTPLUG_USE_SUBFS="no" even if there are the correct param in the fstab file: /dev/sdg1 /media/usbdisk subfs rw,noauto,users,sync,fs=ext3 0 0 /dev/sdg2 /media/usbdisk_1 subfs rw,noauto,users,sync,fs=reiserfs 0 0 BUT if the filesystem on the USB disk is FAT32 I get a rw access to this !! reading the /etc/mtab show that the submountd does not seem to take into account my fstab suggestions ?? Many thanks
