Howdy, Here's the option line from the auto.media file: /media/thingy -fstype=vfat,users,flush,rw,umask=0000 :/dev/ipod I could have sworn this was working... I posted a while back and found out that the "users" option had to be in there. Now I get this : umount: /media/thingy is not in the fstab (and you are not root) I could have sworn it was working...#$#%#@!! any ideas ? Brian
