Your first question: You cannot assign a mounted partition to normal
user ~ simply make another directory under the mounted directory and use
that until you understand permissions :
su
password:
mkdir /mnt/"your_mounted_name"/"another_name"
chown "your_user_name":"your_user_name"
/mnt/"your_mounted_name"/"another_name"
To be able to have your system mount this at bootup time you must
configure /etc/fstab
Simple open it as su with your favourite editor and match the entry for
this partition the same as a similar one that you can already access.
su
password:
vim /etc/fstab
<Press the letter "i" to enable editing and when finished press the
'Escape" key followed by typing " :wq" which will _w_rite the file and
then _q_uit the vi editor.>
As always, type stuff within the quotes ~ not the quotes themselves.
Hope this is of help.

I have successfully mounted a windows shared folder on my dual boot WindowsXP
and Mandriva 2007 system. Here's what I did:
- cd /mnt
su
mkdir <whatever you want to call the mount point>
- mount /dev/<device> /mnt/<the name you called the mount point>
Now the questions.
As a user, I can't write to the share, just read. I've tried logging in as
root and changing the permissions. Here's the share's permissions:
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 8192 Dec 31 1969 Win_Linux_Shared_Folder/
How can I set this so any user has full control?
Secondly, will this mount be present automatically on reboot? If not, how do
I accomplish this?
Thanks
