Well, the only problem is that permissions don't work for dos partitions.
Only the user that mounts it can write to it. You could change the
permissions on /mnt/dos after you mount it, but user would not be able to
write to anything any deeper into the filesystem than the top level. Add
the user flag to your fstab, and that will allow users to mount it and
write to it, but be sure that those users know to unmount it so that
another user can remount it for themselves.

Ave!
I had a question about mount.
At boot moment, according to my fstab, mount mount my dos partition in
/mnt/dos and all works well. Nothing wrong until this point.
But, users, cannot write on dos partition, only read from it. I want to
allow ordinary users to write on dos partition.
I tried to set rights for /mnt/dos directory (777), I tried to give the
same rights to /dev/hda1, and when I see that doesn't work I restore them.
When I unmount manually the dos partition I notice that the rights for
/mnt/dos are 777, as I set them, but after a mount they became 755. I
tried to play with fstab, according to man, but I didn't succed.
So, what have I do to allow ordinary users to write onto dos partition? A
concrete example should be perfect.
Thank you in advance for your help,
