Order is only really important in mounts at boot time, and since you're not
mounting this partition at boot, it's not important where it appears in

Will I screw something up with my simple umask=0?
no, i don't believe so.
to be honest, i'm not sure what
Look at your options for the windows partition
umask=000 is equal to rwxrwxrwx on the doze partition
I would probably do a defaults with your umask entry tacked on.
man mount, and search for defaults.

It seems to me there should be a better way to do this. Perhaps use the
noauto,owner,rw options like a cdrom so that the partition belongs to
the mounting user. But the user then has to mount it manually at some
point. I haven't tried this yet myself.
Unfortunately, that's not what the

In addition to everyone else's wonderful suggestions, I also always
mount vfat drives with the showexec option, which turns off the exec
bit for files that aren't .exe files, but leaves it on for
directories. You can't do that with umask.

Yes. Actually users would be better, so that any user can

it depends. did you plug the new hard drive in IDE 4 slot A or slot B?
if you put it in slot B, the drive spins at a faster rate and can
