hi all,I just want to make sure this line that I put into fsab is going to allow me to automount my "D drive" and allow me to read & write to that drive without being root.
looks good enough to me

i just rebooted and the permissions on the mounted drive are as follows
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 windrive
how can i change them to me ?? the drive is a fat32 partition just to let you know
-- i keep getting a permission denied
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 windrive drwxrwxr-x 4 jim jim 4096 Jan 19 23:44 wireless [root@JimsNotebook jim]# chown jim windrive chown: changing ownership of `windrive': Operation not permitted [root@JimsNotebook jim]#
VFAT has no concept of who owns files, so you can't chown them. You need to specify who the owner should be at mount time, so try adding the options uid=jim,gid=jim to your fstab entry for this filesystem.
Next time you mount it, you should then be the owner of the files.
