Hi guys, Hopefully this will be a simple one :) I have an 80Gb USB drive attached to a USB port on my router for NAS purposes. This works fine in Winblows (ick) but the problems come in Linux. I can only mount the drive as root. When I start X as root I see the message 'reconnecting Network drives' as I'd expect and it comes up as mounted in /disks/H which is where I want it. When I try to mount it as my normal user julian it says I don't have permission, which *should* be a piece of cake to fix. I've checked the chmod and for all the drives it is drwxrwxrwx. It is a FAT32 drive so there should be no issues with whether this flavour of Linux (Xandros 3.02) will RW to it. I *can* access the drive as a normal user, but it means ploughing through Windows Network -> TARTARUS -> ORACLE -> ARAGORN which is a pain in the bum. It would be *much* nicer to have it automount under a shortcut as the other internal drives do.
