I've run into this if I try to edit fstab as a user not root.I could've sworn I was in a root terminal. But I've just gone in and tried again and it worked fine this time. So maybe I wasn't... :D ...if I wasn't I must have made the same mistake several times, because I rebooted several times before I eventually gave up and posted here. :/ Now to reboot and see if those changes work...
Nope they don't. They don't even mount the windows drives for the root user. This is the current lines I've been trying to use in my fstab file: /dev/hda1 /mnt/win nfs ro,users,umask=022 0 2 /dev/hda5 /mnt/wind nfs ro,users,umask=022 0 2 Any suggestions? I don't actually understand the umask=022 bit, just copied it from a website where someone said they achieved what I'm attempting by replacing 'noauto' with 'umask=022' in those two lines. Is the 022 bit an octal permissions thing? Anton -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
