Hello,
I am using Ubuntu 7.04. I usually keep all my big files in a fat32 drive.
My fat32 paritition (/dev/sda2) is mounted at /media/Media.
here's the fstab entry:
/dev/sda2 /media/Media vfat rw,user,sync 0 3
(my / and /home, both reiserfs, are mounted 1,2)
/media/Media has 3 directories:
Downloads, My\ Music, Videos
In my /home/lvshankar I have 3 sym links to the above 3 directories.
Now, here's my problem. When I mount /dev/sda2 manually from terminal(w/ and
without -o ) or when after the systems boots (which runs mount -a, i guess),
I am not able to write/delete anything in the newly mounted filesystem.
But, when I (re)mount through GParted (right click on /dev/sda2 and say
mount), I am having proper rights. And the owner is show as my user
(lvshankar) account too.
Can anyone help me? And what is GParted exactly doing?
Here's my /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

I even tried with 'users' instead of 'user' in the option.
Thanks in advance,
