Hello ally,
First of all be sure you defined the "user" option in your fstab allowing users to mount and umount this partition. And if you don't want the partitions to be mounted at boot time (you want to mount them at user login right?) then include the option "noauto" (do man fstab).
If I could jump in here.
I've tried this (noauto) but the partitions don't automatically mount, they just mount when I click on my desktop icon (kde). If I use the "auto" option instead then the partitions are mounted (which I desire for my xmms playlist) but I cannot copy anything to the partition as a user (the partition is mounted read only for users?) I want the best of both worlds
Thanks
Ok, I may be butting in here as I don't have all of the thread...
Is it NFS you are mounting ?
No just vfat on another partition, same machine heres a snip from my fstab, /dev/hda5 /windows/E vfat noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hda6 /windows/F vfat noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hda7 /windows/G vfat auto,user 0 0 /dev/hdb5 /windows/H vfat noauto,user 0 0 I can't write to /windows/G but after clicking my desktop icon for /windows/H (mounting it) I can write to H, and so on. -- dh
