Hello!
I have this strange problem since I upgraded some things...
I used to mount a fat32 partition at startup, fstab, like this:
user,auto
Now it does not work as b4.
I mean, if I mount at startup, as I try and read that fs as a
normal user, I get a "Permission denied" error.
If I mount it as root, only root can read it.
To read it as a user, it has to be mount(ed?) by that user.

How can I mount it at startup, making it world-readable?!?

Thanks,
