[Sheflug] mount problem

[Darrell Blake <darrell [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a bit of a problem when mounting devices. For some reason if they are 
mouted by root I can't read them as a user. I noticed that my windows drive 
in my fstab was mounted but I couldn't read it. It looked like this...

/dev/hda1		/mnt/windows	vfat	defaults			0 0

I thought the problem was that I was using the default options so I changed it 
to...

/dev/hda1		/mnt/windows	vfat	rw,user,auto,unhide	0 0

I know that I shouldn't really be able to mount devices as user but if I mount 
them as root I can't read them. It's quite important that I can read them 
because I have a small samba network and everyone needs to be able to read 
the windows drive. I tried unmounting the device as root and then mounting it 
as a user and then I can read it fine. I'm contemplating just adding a mount 
command to my rc.local file.

Any ideas?

Darrell
