Its the vfat filesystem, it doesn't support what you are trying to do. You can use 'umask' in your ~/fstab file to let set access for Debian users. i.e. /dev/sdd1 /mnt/usb vfat umask=000,user,noauto 0 0 The umask=000 is a not necessarily the best way,(full access for everyone) you can use uid & gid. I set the pass to 0 so there would be not attempt at checking the vfat file system. -- Greg Madden Debian GNU/Linux User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
