Hi, I installed a supplementary hard disc (ide) on my workstation.

This is how I've modified my conf file ...

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/sda1       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0      1
/dev/sda5       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hda1 	/data 		ext3 	defaults 	0 	0
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0 /dev/fd0
/media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

The problem is about writing permissions: only root can write on "/data"
How can I solve it ?

Thanks in advance
Hal
