When I installed the system, I choosed not automatically mount vfat partitions. But now I found that mount partition by myself everytime is too bother. And I know if I want to mount partitions automatically I should edit /etc/fstab, but I don't know how. I also want normal user have the right to read and write the vfat partition. Who can help me?
Thank you!

This is almost as bad as the blind leading the blind here, but here's how I do it:

Login as root (or use sudo), and with the editor of your choice (I find pico fast & easy), open '/etc/fstab' and add the line /dev/hda1 /mntpoint vfat defaults,umask=000 0 0

Now a couple of notes - be sure to replace "/dev/hda1" with your own hard drive... it should be hda(#) if you have an IDE system, which you probably do. Also replace "/mntpoint" with wherever you want your vfat drive to be mounted (don't forget the directory has to already exist, so "mkdir /mychoice" if you must). I think that's everything... so to sum up, as root, you want to:

pico /etc/fstab

And add this line:

/dev/hda7 /share vfat defaults,umask=000 0 0


Hope that does it for you

Thank you!
Can you tell me the meaning of "umask=000"?

for explanation on what umount=000 does,read this:


http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=288329

Go about half way down the page

first make a directory in /mnt called win_c for example
then edit fstab and add this line :
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat auto,rw,umask=000 1 0

then if you want to mount it now type : mount /mnt/win_c

You may give subfs/submount a try.. I use it for my CDROM and USB, but disks are OK too..
