Re: 2.6.0-test5-mm3 VFAT File system problem

[Benjamin Weber <shawk@gmx.net>]

I can confirm this behavior. 

I checked my fstab entry. Was saying:

/dev/hda5               /mnt/windows/D  vfat            rw,user,umask=0
0 0

After changing it to
/dev/hda5               /mnt/windows/D  vfat           
rw,user,uid=1001,gid=100 0 0

I got it working again half of the time. Its strange. Sometimes I get
the message that only root can unmount it, even when I mounted it as
user. 

Something is a little whacky there.
