First, What does your fstab look like for that entry. It should look something like: /dev/hdaX /home vfat auto,users,exec,uid=<your uid>,gid=<your group id>
Initially, it is important to have exec on so that you can execute the startup scripts. I personally do not think it is a good idea to use a FAT file system as your /home. There are other ways to accomplish what you want. In any case, if that's what you want, then go for it. You can also use /home/<username>/<dirname> And make it a subdirectory of your /home/<username> directory.
You may want to remove ",users".
I don't think you can have "users" and "uid=xxxx,gid=xxxx" as they fight with each other. "users" means to mount with the uid,gid of the person doing the mounting. The gid,uid means to mount as the specified person, -not- the one doing the mount. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
