How to mount a FAT32 partition in fstab?

Hi Guys,

I've created a FAT32 partition on my AA1 so that I can access it from both Linpus and XP (dual boot machine).

I'm having a problem accessing the partition under Linpus.

I create a folder /mnt/home/Share and enter the following line in fstab

/dev/hda4 /mnt/home/Share vfat rw,umask=000 0 0

If I open Thunar as root then I have access to the partition, but I cannot gain access as user.

I've tried adding uid=gid=500 but still no joy.

HELP???!!!!

 

Google "man fstab" gives:

You answer is in the description of the fourth field.

Could also be that some directory in your /mnt/home/Share hierarchy only has root privileges.

Note that you need "o+rx" ACLs on a directory to allow any user to list the contents of the directory.

 

JUST INSTALL VIRTUAL BOX... AND YOU CAN RUN FRIGGIN VISTA IF YOU WANT... FORMAT YOUR USB THUMBDRIVE NTFS AND STIK IT IN THE USB PORT OF YOUR LINUX BOX.. POOF.. YOU HAVE A MOUNTED NTFS PARTITION... GEZZZZZZZZZ
