[QCLUG] I do not have permissions....

[John Brun]

In the past several years I have used 3 distros interchangeably.   I 
prefer SuSE, but the newest version keeps dropping the printer, and 
require that I set it up almost every time I boot.   Ubuntu seems to be 
the perfect distro for my laptop, although there are 'working' things I 
don't like about it.  (I deplore apt-get)

Redhat on the other hand works well except:   I have a sata drive that I 
mount to a folder in my home directory.  I can read it, but neither 
fedora nor redhat lets me write to it as a user.  I have altered the 
fstab file to show   ..... ,rw,user....   but to no avail.   As root, 
the system tells me I don't have permissions to change the drive.    Any 
ideas on what might be up?
