Here is your fstab line:
/dev/sda13 /mp3 jfs defaults 1 2
...and here are four partitions that I added to /etc/fstab last week:
/dev/hde1 /home/wittig/
/dev/hde2 /home/wittig/
/dev/hdh5 /home/wittig/
/dev/hdh6 /home/wittig/
All you have in the 'options' column is 'defaults'. I do not know what
the 'defaults' are.
I set mine to 'noauto' because I have a script to mount those
partitions, only when I need them mounted, when doing back-ups.
I have 'rw' set, so the partitions can be read from and written to.
I have 'user' set, so that the partitions can be mounted by me,
'wittig', without having to 'su' to 'root' to mount the partitions.
Also... after all these things were in place and working, I had to
'chown' directories (like /home/wittig/
/dev/hde1) were actually mounted in the directories I had created as
mount points... from 'root' to 'wittig'
I owned the directory /home/wittig/
point, but once /dev/hde1 was mounted on that directory, even though I
had been able to mount it as user 'wittig', and not 'root', it still
came up as owned by 'root', along with all the files in those partitions.
