Well, the mount command I gave you should work for the VFAT one - just change the partition number. The ext3 one should work with a standard mount command, as long as the user has write permision for the directory. (It should work the same as any other directory.) The only thing that would give you trouble is if you move it between machines, and the user number (UID) is different for the same user.On Thu, 2004-07-01 at 16:54, Mikkel L. Ellertson wrote:

how can mount my usb drive with access privilege. When I wrote as a root

I was able to access it the usb but I cannot read or write even though the /mnt/usb has drwxrwxrwx permission.
Can anyone help mounting the drive as a root and grant the other users the write access to it.
What version of Mandrake you are running may make a difference, but on 9.2 automount will automaticly mount most USB drives. Take a look at /mnt/removable, and see if it is there.
I would guess that this is a FAT or VFAT file system, so if you realy want to mount it manualy, try something like:
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/usb -o uid=500,umask=0

Mikkel,
I am using LM10.0 and the usb drive has 2 partisions one ex3 and the other is vfat (fat32).

From what I understand, 10.0 moved away from supermount, and to a differert automount program, so I can not help you with getting the drive to automount.
