How can I mount hda1 with fstab so all users can read and write?

I tried adding a line with "user,rw 0 0" as options but that didnt let me write...

Let me guess your windows is NT4 or 2000 or XP right?

2000

im talking about redhat....

Yes i know i'm not silly.

It's read-only to ntfs drives.

its fat32

try this

mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt/win2k

[markman]

I can mount during runtime, and have full access of it. I want to do it in fstab so it will automatically be mounted when I turn on. Thats what fstab does. Except now its only letting me read and execute.

I have an option of "user,rw 0 0"

Just seeing if you could mount it.

Now root should be able to write to it correct??

Create a group called Vfat and add:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/dos vfat rw,auto,async,uid=0,gid=xxx,umask=002 0 0

Where xxx is the GroupID.

[markman]

where do I get my groupID?

[markman]

i used the "id" command
now how hi-tech is that

works fine now

thanks
