[plug] Mount Permisions

[Paul Dean]

Hya Tim,

First question, Do you want the drive to be in 'ro' mode?
If so then change your fstab file 'ntfs' to 'smbfs'. If you don't then
change 'ro' to 'rw' as well.
You can use samba to mount a drive and read/write to it what ever the
winblows file system format is.
This means that you will need at lest samba-client installed.


Hope this helps.
