Attached my fstab. Requirements: 1. Read-write access for the user samjnaa (me) to my Windows and Fedora partitions. 2. Create a mount point for my USB Pen Drive where subfs will automount it when I plug it in, just like for my CD and DVD drives. Both these don't currently work. Even as root I am not sometimes allowed write access to create a directory etc on the vfat partitions. What edits to apply to fstab? Please advise. Thanks. -- (o- Penguin #395953 lives at http://samvit.org //\ subsisting on ancient Indian wisdom ... V_/_ and modern computing efficiency! :)
