Hello, I recently changed my hardrive to a larger one. My old setup had fat32 file system on it but on my new drive I decided to go with reiserfs. I am having problems using the drive and I think that the culprit is my fstab entry.The new drive is Share B.

/dev/hda6 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
/dev/hdb1 /data1 auto noauto,user 0 0
/dev/hdd5 /windows/ShareA vfat defaults,umask=000,uid=500,gid=100,iocharset=iso8859-1,code=437 0 0
/dev/hdb5 /windows/ShareB reiserfs defaults,umask=000,uid=500,gid=100,iocharset=iso8859-1,code=437 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap pri=42 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0

Could someone point out to me what is wrong?

Too much information... should look like:

I have my reiserfs root mounted with a line in fstab that looks just like yours. No prob.

And how do I make the drive accessible for normal user, as currently only root has access?

As long as regular users have access to their home directories and can read and execute what they need to, giving everyone access to everything in the / folder only compromises security. Or do you mean something else?

I only ment for one user to gain access to the drive. I used kde file manager to change permissions and everything is working perfectly now. Thanks for all the help
