I have these two entries in /etc/fstab for my external drive:
LABEL=mirror /media/mirror ext3 defaults,noatime,user,data=journal 0 LABEL=Elements /media/xbig vfat uid=amp,noatime,user,fmask=133 0 My user is member of 'plugdev' group and I use pmount LABEL=mirror pumount mirror (~/mirror is a symlink to /media/mirror) Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
