Yes you can do that in fstab: Put the options in the column which usually says "defaults". For example a floppy drive can have: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 That means autodetect filesystem type (e.g. vfat) and use options rw,user,noauto,exec,nosuid,nodev so let all users who have access to the /dev/fd0 device mount it without needing sudo, disable all device-files or suid-files on floppy (security risk) but allow executables, do not automatically mount, mount for read and write. Another example: /dev/sda9 /mnt/e vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=1000,noexec 0 1 This assumes that john has user ID 1000, check by running "id" ;-) Eric -- Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.

Re: [Freedos-user] Trouble setting up dosemu
I tried to chown while it was mounted and the response was "operation not permitted". that is why I did it umounted. can I incorporate the -o uid=john into the fstab, as I am not performing a separate mount command., or should I not mount it all in fstab, but use "unix mount etc." in my autoexec.bat?

Re: [Freedos-user] Trouble setting up dosemu
Hi! If you mount something to a directory, it shows up there instead of the directory. This is why chown *before* the mount has no effect. You could chown *after* the mount, or use the -o uid=john option for mount. Mount also has many other options, but avoid making things too complex.

I am attempting to mount a fat32 partition (4.xGB) to /mnt/e e is my "e:" drive (in autoexec.bat, I lredir e: linux\fs\mnt\e). I cannot write to it from dos. I found that the directory e is owned by john:john (me) why I have my own group, I don't know. I sudo umount /dev/sda9, then sudo chown john:john /mnt/e verify that is now john:john then, . . . I sudo mount /dev/sda9 /mnt/e and look at e with dir and its now root:root help!
