Auto Mount fat32 drive on hda1
Posts: 61
I am trying to automount hda1 that has some media files on it. Windows 98 is on hda1 and I am using Mepis 6.0 My etc/fstab file looks like:
# Pluggable devices are handled by uDev, they are not in fstab
/dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults,noatime,notail 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=0666 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda4 /home auto defaults,noatime 1 2
# Dynamic entries below, identified by 'users' option
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat,ext3,ext2,reiserfs noauto,users,exec 0 0
/dev/hda3 swap swap sw,pri=1 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom iso9660,udf noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0
I've tried a few things that haven't worked. what do I need to do to fix this?
Thanks!

I think you need to add a umask=000

/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat,ext3,ext2,reiserfs auto,users,exec 0 0
I think the umask=000 gives unrestricted access to the drive and the users makes it available to all users.
No need to add the extra filesystem types
ext3,ext2,reiserfs
when you already know the filesystem type, you can trim these out to make the following
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat auto,users,exec,umask=000 0 0

Break M$'s shackles from your feet and free yourself with Mepis
