I just checked the fstab manual My understanding of it is that it is used to mount devices like hard drives cdroms etc. In my case it is that I am in front of the win2000 machine and I can see the actual files in my Debian box but I can't add files or folders from the win2000 machine. However I can do all that from the Debian machine. Does this still sound like the problem you had and do you still think it has to do with fstab? I am asking because there is one option about mounting partitions from remote systems. An option called nfs.
