301754 2004-12-10 10:27:00 Hey,

How do I setup my fstab so I can write to my windows fat32 partitions even when I am not the root user?

Could someone please post an example of theirs if you do the same thing?

Cheers,

Ash

/dev/hdb2 /mnt/shared/data vfat auto,umask=000,user 0 0
Where hdb2 is your parition, and /mnt/shared/data is your mount directory in /mnt for example.

You can find further details on editing your fstab here (www.tuxfiles.org) and by looking at man fstab.
