How to use mount and /etc/fstab
When I put a CDROM in my drive, a few seconds later a Konqueror window open showing my files. However, when I plug in my memory stick, Konqueror does nothing. It is not a problem of the memory stick, becuase from a command line I can mount it without any problems. I guess that I have an error in /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/pendrive auto auto,users,rw 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
Unfortunately I have read the man pages for mount and fstab several times and do not understand what is wrong. Any suggestions?
A related question: I don't want Linux to automount my Windows ntfs disk since I don't use it very often, but when I do want to use it I would like to be able to click on the disk drive icon I have on my KDE desktop to mount it. However, when I do that I get the error message "only root can mount this device. Which is really strange, becuase from a command line I can mount it (as a normal user) without any problems. The device listed by KDE for the disk drive icon is /dev/hdb2.
The corresponding line in /etc/fstab is:
/dev/hdb2 /mnt/ntfs_data ntfs noauto,users,umask=666 0 0
Any suggestions?
A final question. The man pages for mount and fstab are a little terse. Is there any decent tutorials online which explain mount a little better.
Thanks in advance.
