Maybe, maybe not, both are valid. |

"user" means that any non-root user can mount the device and the same |
13 |
user (or root) may umount it. |

"users" means that any non-root user can mount the device and any other |
15 |
user (or root) may umount it. |

It'll probably say that the device is /dev/sdb1 or some such. The real |
21 |
problem is likely what another poster mentioned - suitable drivers not |
22 |
loaded yet when init comes to use /etc/fstab. |
23 |
|
24 |
One could try listing these drivers in /etc/autoload.d/kernel-2.6 but |
25 |
the easiest is probably to compile them into the kernel |
