Hi all, I'm using FC4 and I have a fat32 partition to save data. The problem is sometimes fedora seems to mount this partition on boot and sometimes it doesn't so I have to edit fstab, add the partition and mount it manually. My question is how to make fedora mount this partition automatically on boot?? also, how to make all the data inside this partition accesible/writeable by all users??
Thanks in advance.
Yes, it disappears on reboot, and when I'm shutting down the PC I see a message telling me something like: 'Attention: there is no final new line on /etc/fstab'. What might be wrong??
Thanks in advance.
That's really odd. That message just means that the last character in /etc/fstab should be a newline character... so press enter at the end of the last line.
Done, I put the fat32 entry after /dev/hda8 (which is the swap partition) instead of putting it at the end of fstab, and it worked. Now the partition is automatically mounted on reboot. Thanks.
