i'm not familiar with MEPIS but looking at the comment line: # Dynamic entries below, identified by 'users' option
..suggests the script that is automatically messing about with the /etc/fstab file (and undoing Bernard's original changes from early on in this thread) is using the "users" option to identify which lines it owns (as automatic mounts) and which ones the user has edited and which the script should therefore leave alone. could someone with access to MEPIS confirm or deny this please? - neil On Mon, 2006-05-01 at 21:18 -0400, Robert Fisher wrote: > On Mon, 01 May 2006 04:48, Bernard wrote: > > I have just installed Mepis and need some help having my Fat32 partitions > > mounted automatically. > > > > I can use KwikDisk and click /mnt/hda2 to mount it but I want to have it > > mounted automatically every time I boot. > > > > My /etc/fstab line looks like this.... > > /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 vfat,ext3,ext2,reiserfs noauto,users,exec 0 0 > > > > What should I change it to? > > I have been playing with my Mepis laptop on Bernard's behalf and can add that > even if I change fstab manually it seems to revert back to the line above > after a reboot with the following line above it.. > # Dynamic entries below, identified by 'users' option > > Back to Google for me.
