I've got a SerialATA hard drive with an NTFS and FAT32 partition. The NTFS stays mounted just fine, but the FAT32 won't stay mounted after a reboot. I tried putting "/dev/sdb1 fat32 /mnt/hd umask=0 0 0" in my /etc/fstab (that may not be what I put, but I looked at the other entries and made it EXACTLY like theres except for fat32 and umask=0 but it won't stay.

 

What line do I need to put in fstab to make this work.

 

/dev/sdb1 = the partition I want

/mnt/hd = mount location

 

I want all users to be able to r/w/x

Mr T, you've got a typo. The partition in question is /dev/sdb1. Try this for your fstab entry:

 

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/hd vfat defaults,umask=0 0 0

 

Oops! :woops: And I think "defaults" also needs to be there. as suggested. I was attempting from memory, something I should not do! :P
