addition hard drive mounting + permissions and nvidia

well i just installed 1.4rc2 and everything went great. i went with a 2.5.53 kernel just for fun.

only 2 small snags.

1. my secondary hard drive, it has that other os on it (hint: fat partition). i have it mounted at startup via fstab, but users cannot access it. i had it seutp before and everyone could read it but only root could write. i didnt do anything different so im not sure whats wrong. maybe im not in the right group? can someone point me to a guide or thread maybe (my searches turned up zilch) that explains some options. also while im at it id like to let users in X group change the files. i thought it would be as simple as chown'ing the mount point before mounting but that was a no go.

2. nvidia drivers + 2.5.53 are a no go. im assuming the patch just doesnt support this new version (although its probably up a few more notches since ive installed) but id like to just double check.

thanks

SEARCH THE FORUMS 1st . Took me 5 seconds entering "access AND windows AND partition". Gives no less than TWO screens of results.

Dont be lazy! :evil:

no idea on #2, but i'll take a go on #1

try a man mount, and look under fat options. i think the options you're concerned with would be uid/gid (set owner and group) and umask/fmask/dmask (set permissions; this is the mask, so put the permissions you DON'T want to allow).

i'd think the options (in fstab) would be something like...

Moved from Installing Gentoo.

For 1, see UN4: mounting Windows partitions (FAT,NTFS) in the FAQ Forum.
