Hey all,
I need to mount two fat32 partitions. They got all my documents/misc files I don't want deleted. I use fat32 becuase it can be read from just about anything. I want them to be automounted. The problem is only root can read/write to them! But I can go as a normal user, pass the umount, then mount command and then read/write on it. What do I need to do so the normal user can r/w without having to remount it every boot?
My fstab lines look like this:
| Code: | /dev/hda5 /mnt/storage vfat auto,users,rw 0 0
/dev/hda9 /home/u2mike/documents vfat auto,users,rw 0 0 |

Sounds like a case for autofs.
This is a daemon which is started at boot, and monitors attempts to access certain directories. When a user attempts to access, say, /mnt/storage it automatically mounts that partition, and unmounts it after some time when it's not used anymore.
Pretty handy for cdroms too.

emerging it right now 
But I fixed my problem, after looking through lots of documentation, I changed it to look like this:
| Code: | | /dev/hda5 /mnt/storage vfat auto,users,exec,gid=1000,umask=0000 0 0 |

That's what I've been using for years :
| Code: | | /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat rw,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 |
I think umask does the trick |
