My Linux PC mounts the Windows partition automatically at boot time. Here's what I have in my /etc/fstab file:
/dev/hda1 /win95 vfat noexec,uid=500,rw,mask=000 0 0 What this means is that my Windows partition is on /dev/hda1. I mount it on the directory /win95 in my Linux filesystem. The filesystem type is vfat. And I exercise options noexec (do not allow execution of any binaries on this filesystem), uid=500 (all files in this partition will appear to be owned by uid 500 (that's me) as seen from Linux), rw (the filesystem is to be mounted read-write) and file creation mask 000 (user, group and owner all have rwx permission on all files in this filesystem). The 0 0 at the end are to tell fsck not to check this filesystem when booting after a crash. - Manas Laha Arko Provo Mukherjee wrote: > > I sometimes have to draw info from the folders in Windoz. > So I have to mount it everytime I boot linux. > Can you tell me how to make linux boot me windowz automatically so that > I don't have to write mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows whenever I load > windows. > > Thanx in advance, > > Arko -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
