Ciao from Italy.
WEll, in /etc/fstab
put a line with
device name where to mount filesystem
options
/dev/yourfat32partition /mnt/w9x vfat
noauto,user 0 0
So every user can mount this partition with the command
mount /mnt/w9x
and the user who mounted own EVERYTHING in that partition, so be
careful
to change user, with the new user you have to unmount
with umount /mnt/w9x
and remount
mount /mnt/w9x
Happy new week.
Ciao a tutti.
Giorgio
