[ubuntu-in] Automount ext4 partition in ubuntu 10.04

[Neel Mehta]

Thanks for your replies.

"user" is to allow the user to mount the partition and to unmount it and no
other user other than which mounted it should be allowed to unmount it. for
"users", anyone can unmount it.

the "uid" parameter does not work for ext4 partition.

the options that i have now are default,auto. i just had to change file
permissions as Nitesh mentioned. actually, the folder /media/DISK1_VOL2 was
a root folder as it was created by mount, and hence I did not have any
permissions for that. so, i was unable to create any file/folder. but i m
still surprised by the fact that i can create files inside another partition
(/media/DISK1_VOL1) which is of ntfs format, even though the DISK1_VOL1
folder is a root folder.

Thanks and Regards,
