[LUG] Auto-mount NAS Drive

 

Hi guys,

Hopefully this will be a simple one :)

I have an 80Gb USB drive attached to a USB port on my router for NAS 
purposes.  This works fine in Winblows (ick) but the problems come in 
Linux.  I can only mount the drive as root.  When I start X as root I 
see the message 'reconnecting Network drives' as I'd expect and it comes 
up as mounted in /disks/H which is where I want it.  When I try to mount 
it as my normal user julian it says I don't have permission, which 
*should* be a piece of cake to fix.  I've checked the chmod and for all 
the drives it is drwxrwxrwx.  It is a FAT32 drive so there should be no 
issues with whether this flavour of Linux (Xandros 3.02) will RW to it.

I *can* access the drive as a normal user, but it means ploughing 
through Windows Network -> TARTARUS -> ORACLE -> ARAGORN which is a pain 
in the bum.  It would be *much* nicer to have it automount under a 
shortcut as the other internal drives do.

Kind regards,

Julian
