The blkid output would have shown this device, it's UUID, and filesystem. At any rate, for my flash drives I want them mounted with perms for rw for user mingdao, so I put something like this in /etc/fstab: baruch ~ # blkid /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc1: LABEL="AMD" UUID="CA00-9136" TYPE="vfat" baruch ~ # grep CA00-9136 /etc/fstab UUID=CA00-9136 /AMD vfat noauto,users,rw,gid=1000,dmask=0002,fmask=0113 0 0 Different for NTFS, of course. And btw, I don't automount anything anything that is plugged in. Just my preference. As Alan mentioned, "man mount" would be a good read; as well as "man fstab". And, did I give you a link to an article on file permissions? The difference between user and users mean simply that with "user" only the user who mounted the device can unmount it; with "users" any user can unmount it, not just the user who mounted it.
