Morning all,
Unfortunately it's time for me to ask another 'slap your forehead' newbie question.
When I mount one of my windows partitions at boot time it is always owned by root, and
no other users can get write permission to any of the windows partitions/directories.
Perusal of man fstab convinced me to try different things with UID, GID and UMASK, but
none of them seem to work. I tried these out on the mp3 partition first...
Relevant snippets follow:
(fstab)
/dev/hda1 /mnt/DOS vfat rw,user,noexec 0 0/dev/hdb3 /usr/local/mp3
vfat rw,noexec,suid,UID=1000,GID=101,UMASK=002 0 0(ls on a directory
under /usr/local/mp3)drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 25 07:34
.drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 16384 Jan 1 1970 ..-rw-r--r-- 1 root
root 1163 Nov 27 03:14 Kruder & Dorfmiester - Disc 1.m3u-rw-r--r-- 1 root
root 1126 Nov 27 03:15 Kruder & Dorfmiester - Disc 2.m3u-rw-r--r-- 1 root

1545 Jan 20 02:01 Thievery Corp - the mirror conspiracy.m3u-rw-r--r-- 1 root
root 1810 Nov 27 03:13 Thievery Corp..m3uUID=1000 is my user (i'm the only one
on this box)GID = 101 is an mp3 group. I found out later I could/should have just
used the group 'users'.

Pointers, URLs, happily accepted....
TIA
Steve
