Mount Help
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4759 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1355 10243768+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 1356 4759 25734240 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)

/dev/hda9 2750 2980 1734988+ 82 Linux swap
Above is my disk set-up.
What I am trying to do is set-up that FAT32 partion you see for access through FC 3.
How do I do this? When my machine boots up, verbose mode tells me nothing is set to auto mount. Could this be the problem? With other Linux distros, I have always readable partions mounted automatically.
Do I need to add this to /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab? If so, how do I do this?
Thanks for any help.

Well, I'd like to have it mounted automatically at boot, without command.
Code:/dev/hda5 /mnt/winblow$ vfat defaults 0 0
I logged in as root and undid my changes, and I could log in again.
Man, how do I get this to work right?

Okay... I have tried ALL sugggestions on this page.
Upon boot, in verbose, auto mounting fails using any other suggestions but yours, Drakebasher.
And like I said, when I use yours, I can actually access the FAT32 under root, which I noticed when I logged in as root to fix the problem. However, I cannot log in under my normal user name, because I then get that error I mentioned.
Could this be a permissions problem with my home folder? I don't know.
Drakebasher, technically what you had me do IS working, but only under root, because that is the only account I can logon after I set it up.

Sounds like there must be something else going on here. If the vfat partition is getting mounted to /mnt/, that should have nothing to do with your logging in to your home directory. I'd suggest you set aside the matter of the vfat partition for a moment by commenting the line where it appears in fstab, by typing a # at the beginning of the line. Then you should deal with gaining normal access to your home directory. I can't see how anything that you have done here would have affected your home directory or any permissions except those for the vfat partition and it's mount point.
