Hmmm, I'm not sure if I've got my self in a bit of a pickle here or not. Basically, I've been trying to figure out how to mount my windows XP partitions from within debian. I managed to do that as root and put some lines into fstab to get this to happen on boot up. My problem is that: a) They were not quite the right lines. Only root can access the windows partitions. b) According to this page: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/275741 I should replace my current lines: /dev/hda1 /mnt/win nfs noauto,ro,users 0 2 /dev/hda5 /mnt/wind nfs noauto,ro,users 0 2 with: /dev/hda1 /mnt/win nfs ro,users,umask=022 0 2 /dev/hda5 /mnt/wind nfs ro,users,umask=022 0 2 c) However, when I use the root terminal to try and edit fstab, it won't let me, saying the file is now read only. If I use the ! option in vi to force the change, it still won't do it, giving me this error: "fstab" E212: Can't open file for writing Can anyone help me out here?
