I need read/write access to my windows partition
The relevant line in /etc/fstab is:
        /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat user,rw 0 0
Output from $ mount is:
        /dev/hda1 on /mnt/windows type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

With windows partition not mounted, $ ll /mnt gives:
        drwxrwxrwx    2 root     root         4096 Mar 22 13:21 windows/

After # mount /mnt/windows , $ ll /mnt gives:
        drwxr-xr-x   30 root     root        16384 Dec 31  1969 windows/

I found a thread in archives back in Feb. about this problem, but no 
solution, just some interesting "try this".
My system is vanilla 8.2 from clean install.  I didn't have this problem with 
previous versions on same hardware.
