I find I can read from but not write to the vfat and ext3 partitions (all
NTFS partns can be written to in addition to being read from) . From the
fstab file (http://www.pastebin.ca/1526130), these partitions are -

/dev/sda1 /media/Windows_L vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb8 /media/FC10_Root ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb5 /media/FC10_Home ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb6 /media/Storage_1 ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb7 /media/Storage_2 ext3 defaults 0 0

How can I enable writing to these, particularly as I would like to backup
data to the Storage_1 & Storage_2 partitions.

Thanks,

Jay
