Anybody have any objections, comments, > advisories?I don't think that will help you becuase the usb disk is being hot mounted, but doesn't use /etc/fstab. I think hot mounting uses udev, but I don't know much about it so you'd need to google and perhaps try the ubuntu forums to find out more. I'd guess that if you ask on the ubuntu forums how to mount a usb FAT32 formatted disk with r+w permissions set for everyone, you would get the right answer fairly quickly! -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34339 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
