Hi Thanks,
yeah .. thought of that but when the drive is removed it will
remove the fstab entry .. fstab-sync is involved here, which is new
to me.
This is the entry:
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/LEXAR_MEDIA vfat pamconsole,exec,noauto,noatime,sync,
codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,managed 0 0
Found this out though, I *CAN* mount this as a *user* and then the
drive is accessible.
So this seems to work, but not how I expected.
