But gave hint to cheating "fairly: ;/
Used GParted to reformat to FAT32.
But GParted won't label a FAT partition.
Used "fatlabel" to label it.
Edited fstab:
LABEL=owlcommon /home/richard/Documents/tst_common vfat
user,rw,umask=000 0 0
Tested by editing the fstab of another Debian instance.
Both can read/write that directory.
When I have time I'll test on another machine which can multi boot
WinXP. "fatlabel" gave a warning that Windows might not be happy with a
lower case label. But my immediate problem is solved.
Thank you.

Whoops, apparently umask is not the answer for ext partitions. There are
further comments there which do claim to work.

Through a quick google of "fstab world writable" (without quotes) I found

One of the answers suggests using the "umask" option in the fstab entry. I
believe this is what you're looking for.

This Richard is confused ;/
Using GParted I created an ext4 partition labeled "owlcommon".
I added the following line to fstab:
LABEL=owlcommon /home/richard/Documents/tst_common ext4 rw,user 0 0
On reboot it does appear in the expected file system location.
*BUT* it is locked {owned by root with users only able to read}
I would like all users to have unrestricted access.
If not possible, since "richard" has the same UID on all systems, I would
like "richard" to have full access AUTOMATICALLY.
IOW when I do a fresh install to another partition I want to write a line
to that system's fstab (or elsewhere) such that "richard" automagically has
full access.

I suspect the other Richard could be confused in a similar fashion, so
your reply was still valuable.
wes,
I must have been undercafinated when I responded. Partitions are
always
/dev/sd* (or similar) while file systems have names. It's been a hectic
day
but I won't claim that as an excuse.
Best regards,
Rich
