I put the options you suggsted, but the mp3 player wouldn't mount when I plugged it in. I tried manually and didn't work. mount /media/clip mount: only root can mount UUID=44AD-4794 on /media/clip This is my fstab: UUID=44AD-4794 /media/clip vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks2 0 0
I couldn't find an explanation of some of the options on the NET: shortname=mixed, showexec, flush, uhelper=udisks2 Do you have a link to a explanation of these options?
