/dev/hda4 /mnt/winshare vfat
umask=0022,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,user,rw,sync 0 0
The above is my entry for such a partition ~ the directory name being
"winshare"
You appear to be attempting to name your partition before you even start :
ie. /dev/disk/by-label/WIN_LINUX is something new to me and too much I
think.
Also, to be able to write to this partition I would recommend the above
form as a guide.
Some systems need to be rebooted before this will take effect though not
so common these days.
Try it and let us know how you got on.

I'm trying to automatically mount a shared Fat32 partition. I've edited
the /etc/fstab and the filesystem mounts automatically. However, I can't
write to it.
contents of my /etc/fstab:
/dev/disk/by-label/WIN_LINUX /mnt/Win_Linux_Shared_Folder/ vfat
rw,auto,user,exec 0 0
I created the mount point directory as a user (see dir dump):
drwxr-xr-x 5 michael michael 8192 Dec 31 1969 Win_Linux_Shared_Folder/
But when I reboot and this filesystem is mounted the owner and group are
switch back to root.
How can I set this up so a user has write access?
Thanks in advance.

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
