Thanks for the help guys,
Just FYI, adding "user" option to fstab did not work but "umask=000" did
work.
Sorry, but you have to have done something wrong. Putting user in the optios
IS the way to deal with this. Check my vfat windows partition that I'm
mounting as a normal user:
Hi, Guys
I think someone is confusing "user" (which allows a user to MOUNT the
device) and "umask=000" (which controls the default permissions for new
files and folders). I have had problems with USER, myself (e.g. on a
USB ZIP drive), so I bagged it and SU to mount a disk. I have never run
into problems accessing a drive as a user once it has been mounted.
IMHO "umask=000" is NOT a goodness, since it means that new files or
folders will be created with an access mask of 777.
