Try building that into your kernel. Actually, this seems to be a very strict parsing of the fstab when it comes= to msdosfs file systems. I Googled a lot (even further, I've been struggling with this problem for several years now), and suddenly, the below worked nicely. Case closed! $ cat /etc/fstab | grep share /dev/ad4s5 /mnt/share1 msdosfs rw,-m644,-M755,-ujakobbg,-gjakobbg 0 0 /dev/ad4s6 /mnt/share2 msdosfs rw,-m644,-M755,-ujakobbg,-gjakobbg 0 0 Thanks for a great list! --=20 Jakob Breivik Grimstveit, <http://www.grimstveit.no/jakob/>, 48298152 Bes=F8k Newsergalleriet: <http://www.newsergalleriet.no/>; All power corrupts, but we need electricity.
