Mounted drives are read only for non-root
 

Hi,

I've successfully made my drives auto-mounted by adding these lines in fstab:

/dev/hda8 /mnt/winE auto auto,user,rw 0 0
and so on

However when I access these drives as a non-root they are read only. How can I fix this?

Using Fedora, btw.

Thanks,

Ed

If it's a FAT32 partition, try using this line for your fstab entry:

/dev/hda8 /mnt/winE vfat codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,quiet,umask=0 0 0

That should give you read/write access for nonroot users. If it's not FAT32, post back the filesystem on the partition.
