Windows Partition

[jlanza]

Hi I was wondering what an fstab entry would look like to have my windows partition /dev/hdb1 mount and unmount and startup and shutdown?

currently i have

/dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows vfat noauto,users 0 0

which doesnt auto mount

I tried this which automounts but /mnt/windows is just an empty directory

/dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows vfat defaults,users,auto 0 0

any clues?

Try something like this...


/dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows vfat defaults, user 0 0

Default automatically does the following: rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async .

Adding the user after it should cancel out the nouser set by using defaults.

Just make sure you specificed the correct partition and type and that should do it.

I think specifing auto twice turns it off but I am not sure of that.

Hope this helps.
