    Hi!

    On my 'orkstation at home, I have the following in /etc/fstab:
        /dev/hdd1 /home/huge auto user,noauto 0 0
        /dev/sdb1 /mnt/reader vfat defaults,user,noauto 0 0
     and can therefore mount it as user:
        :) waldner@fsck->~ $ ls -l /home/ | grep huge
        drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2004-07-22 09:38 huge
        :) waldner@fsck->~ $ mount /home/huge/
        :) waldner@fsck->~ $ ls -l /home/ | grep huge
        drwxr--r-- 15 waldner waldner 8192 1970-01-01 01:00 huge

    Perfect (works for sdb1, too).

    But on my lapdog, the same doesn't work:
        /dev/sda1 /mnt/stick vfat defaults,user,noauto 0 0
     I can mount it as user, but the directory afterwards belongs to root,
     which isn't exactly helpful for reading the contents as user:
        :) waldner@beren->/mnt $ ls -l | grep stick
        drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 1024 Mar 29 12:39 stick
        :) waldner@beren->/mnt $ mount /mnt/stick/
        :) waldner@beren->/mnt $ ls -l | grep stick
        drwxr--r-- 4 root root 16384 Jan 1 1970 stick

    Any idea what could be the problem here (other than the one between
     keyboard and chair)? Both boxen run well-intermixed testing/unstable,
     nearly the same kernel (home: 2.4.26-1-k7, lapdog: 2.4.26-1-686) and
     the same mount (2.12-7).

    cheers+TIA,
    &rw
