That's a whole lot of useless options... 'user' and 'owner' won't do anything unless the non-root users get ownership of those devices. Under normal configurations they won't, so that doesn't do anything. 'dev' is useless, since vfat filesystems don't support special files. 'suid' is useless, since vfat filesystems don't support UNIX file permissions. 'auto' is the default, so it can be excluded. conf='binary' is also the default, as it does no conversion. 'exec' is questionable. It'll let you store executables on your vfat, but most people won't, and it only works if you mark everything as executable. Much simpler, and accomplishes the same thing: /dev/hda /mnt/vfat vfat uid=500,gid=500 0 0 However, that allows write access to only the one user. If you'd like the drive accessible by all users, use this instead: /dev/hda /mnt/vfat vfat umask=111 0 0 _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
