OK, here's how my fstab fiel looks like but I still can't mount from
any non-root user account (I get the message: "mount: only root can do
that")
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda2 /localdisk ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda /media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
Sorry if it's something obvious, but as a new user of Linux I can't
see why "user" option won't work here.
Oh, one more thing to mention is (I thought this is understandable)
that this USB device is not plugged in at the boot - or does it have
to be (but I tried it and even when it is plugged in while the PC
boots the same thing happens)?
Thanks,
Dom
