I'm trying to automatically mount a shared Fat32 partition. I've edited the /etc/fstab and the filesystem mounts automatically. However, I can't write to it.
contents of my /etc/fstab: /dev/disk/by-label/WIN_LINUX /mnt/Win_Linux_Shared_Folder/ vfat rw,auto,user,exec 0 0 I created the mount point directory as a user (see dir dump): drwxr-xr-x 5 michael michael 8192 Dec 31 1969 Win_Linux_Shared_Folder/ But when I reboot and this filesystem is mounted the owner and group are switch back to root. How can I set this up so a user has write access? Thanks in advance.
