Good work Sheshu...
Here's a trivial one, but useful for newbies..
You can enable read/write permissions for vfat (Windoze FAT32) partitions
during auto-mount by modifying the /etc/fstab file:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windoze vfat umask=000 0 0
where /dev/hda1 is the windoze (vfat) partition to be mounted r/w at boot.
This action might generate warning messages, but nothing so serious.
We cannot set an NTFS partition to read/write mode, however, we can mount it
read-only. Add the following line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0222 0 0
where /dev/hda1 is the windoze (ntfs/hpfs) partition to be mounted at boot
