I install knoppix to the hard drive. I what to be mount my second hard drive as a normal user.

I was told to edit my fstabs file I tried every thing but i still could not get it to work.

I got it to mount my drive when i boot but i don't have access as a normal user

What exactly is the partition you want to mount and what does your fstab say now that doesn't work?

For example, I have a FAT partition that I use to share data (music, images, etc) between Linux and Windows. For me it works with this line in my /etc/fstab:

Code:

/dev/hdb3   /mnt/windata   vfat   noexec,users,umask=022   0 0

Here is the settings I use in the fstab for my second HD that I use as my /home directory.

Code:

/dev/hdc1 /home ext3 rw,auto,user,exec 0 0

You can use any directory you want for a mount (/extra instead of /home) if it exists already if not then just create a new one.
