Thanks to everyone who helped......I got the thing to work....I had to
edit fstab and add a new line for the usb hard drive....But I can't
access the drive from any account other than root...Here's what the fstab
looks like -
/dev/hda6 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr
1 1
/dev/hda2 /windows/C ntfs
ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap pri=42
0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5
0 0
proc /proc proc defaults
0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto
0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto
0 0
/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs
fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/usb-storage-DEF107679C83:0:0:0p1 ntfs
defaults, user, noauto 0 0
It does mount properly, and it does show up in KwikDisk, but I can't
access it anywhere other than root. Is this a fstab problem or a
permissions problem?
Thanks again-
Chris Robbins
