Auto mount. non root mount

canyon289 · 02-21-2005, 09:53 PM

What do I put in fstab that
A) automounds a slave hard drive
B) allows a non root user to write to it

This is how i currently mount the drive

Code:

mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /media/disk1

Code:

mount -t vfat /dev/hdb2 /media/disk2

etc

I have to be in root to be able to do that
My gid is 500 and my uid is 500

How can I get the drive automounted and non root writeable?[

This is how I automount my Winders partitions:

Code:

/dev/hda1        /XP              ntfs        user,umask=1000,ro,auto      1   0
/dev/hda2        /PROGRAMS        ntfs        user,umask=1000,ro,auto      1   0
/dev/hda3        /DATA            vfat        user,umask=1000,rw,auto      1   0

The ro is for read/only; the rw is for read/write

For more info issue
$ man fstab
