Welcome to the brave new world of automagic hardware management ;-) fstab is used at boot time and by the mount command if no options are given. Automount is usually performed by some daemon who listens to HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) and udev events. This is part of your desktop environment. On my system the gnome-volume-manager is supposed to do the automount. It can be configured using the command gnome-volume-properties. You mentioned KDE, so the gnome stuff most probably does not apply to your system. Anyway, you can unmount the drive manually and then give the mount command as root with the "o exec" option on the command line. If you don't like mounting an executable drive as root, you can use the "pmount" command. You may have to install pmount as a seperate package. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak http://lilalaser.de/blog _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
