If you mean mounting the drives adn they can't be accesed under normal users, then change the fstab so it allows users to access the drives.

fstab is located in /etc/fstab

to allow non-root users to mount, add the "user,exec" flags at the end of the entry.

I would be glad to answer you question, if only I could read your post.

Seriously... Using abbreviations in the amount you do makes your post much harder to read for a lot of people. And you don't want to make it difficult for us to help you, do you ;-)

If you add "umask=0000" to the end of the entry, anyone will be able to read and write it.

You can also create a group (say "win") and add all users that need access to the group. You can then add gid=win,umask=002 to the end, and only users in that group have access.

check out the manpage for "mount" it has a lot of info :-)

Groetjes,

Kees-Jan

Replace the "default" f. e. of /dev/hda5 (d) by

Code:

codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,rw,users,umask=0

Works fine for me. Replace the codepage and iocharset if needed to match your locale setting or simply delete it. I need them to get european special characters handled right.
Keep in mind, that the above mentioned settings allow any user that is logged in to read and write on this partition, so you can easily delete something. You can restrict the access to users of a special group with the gid-parameter, that other posters already have written above in this thread.
