I already did it. Here is the line that I add to fstab: /dev/sda1 /home/hendro/coba01 vfat noauto, user, rw 0 0 Do you know what is wrong with this? I can unmount it as normal user but I can't mount it as normal user. When I tried to mount it from user, this message come up--> mount:only root can do that anybody can resolve this problem? Thanks!
