Did I miss something? I > really rather not convert my new USB disk to FAT32 if I don't have to. mount only calls a couple of file systems in the old fashioned way. One of them is ntfs. What I did to be able to mount NTFS systems with mount -t (obligatory if you want to use fstab to mount), I did the following: # mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.bak # ln -s /usr/sbin/mount_ntfs-3g /sbin/mount_ntfs This is one of my /etc/fstab entries /dev/ntfs/2vault /mnt/vault ntfs rw,late,gid=5,umask=113,dmask=002 0 0
