I guess I was showing my inexperience there. Is there some way that I kde
automaticly mount the partition for specific users?
OR
Is there some way to transform a fat32 to a unix file system? Would i even
want to do this, as my experience with ext2 sucks. (I am using xfs for my
/,btw anyone know how to defrag a xfs?)
