I am trying to mount a fat32 partition and here is the line I put in fstab "/dev/hda4 /fat32 vfat auto,umask=777". The problem is when I log in as just a normal user and try to access /fat32 I get the following error "bash: cd: /fat32: Permisssion denied". Also I have noticed that the other entries have two numbers on the end and I was wonder what they were for. One more question that is slightly off topic. With vim I know you push i to inserted characters before the highlighted character but how do you inserted afterward.
you need to chmod the /fat32 dir so that others can open it. If you're using a gui you can probably change the permissions with a file manager.
For your second question post the lines you're talking about and we'll explain them to you.
I know in vi you just press i and then you can move the cursor to insert characters after the highlighted character. I'm pretty sure it's going to be the same in vim also unless I'm misunderstanding your question.
This is what I put into fstab for my xp partition:
/dev/hda1 /xp ntfs auto,umask=333 0 0
When I try to access it as a normal user I get the same error as before:
bash: cd: /xp: Permission denied
I want /xp to be read only because last I heard ntfs was still experimental with writing.
