Unless you're using the "user" or "users" mount options.


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.


/dev/hda1 /windows vfat auto,rw,user,umask=0 0 0

But won't the "user" be root since it gets mounted by root at boot?
