Hey - I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to mount my fat32 volumes so they are rw for my administrator login as well as the root user. I tried adding a string to my fstab, but when I rebooted I get the following:
Warning fat32 support is still Alpha dos fsck 2.8 28 Feb 2001, fat lfh /dev/hda1 ....blocks Warning fat32 support is still Alpha at this point the bootup hangs and I have to ctrl+c past it. I was using the following: /dev/hda1 /mnt/cee vfat noauto,owner,gid=500,rw 1 2 /dev/hda5 /mnt/dee vfat noauto,owner,gid=500,rw 1 2 plus a whole variety of combinations... I have to mount them once logged in using the command: mount -w -t vfat /dev/hda1 //mnt/cee Tried setting -o gid=500 also but they will not seem to mount rw to anyone other than root. I feel I am doing something stupid - but help would be appreciated! Thanks - DC
