My problem...
this is my /etc/fstab output
# /dev/sda1
UUID=3546be51-1749-4833-9cac-c709b79de06c / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=f4c05fe8-a243-4387-9081-3763e7f0915b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 rw, user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw, user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/sdb3 /media/sdb3 ext3 rw,user 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ext3 rw,user 0 0

/dev/sdg1 /media/sdg1 ext3 rw,user 0 0
/dev/sdh1 /media/sdh1 ext3 rw,user 0 0
/dev/sdh5 /media/sdh5 ext3 rw,user 0 0
/dev/sdh6 /media/sdh6 swap defaults 0 0
When I use pysdm all of the rw,user is defined as default.
I have jacked around with pysdm and /etc/fstab till I'm about to come uncorked.
Yes, I have RTFM till I can't bear it any more, and followed the 'step-by-step' on-line how-tos, but to no avail.
Either way I can read and write to one, but not both usb drives.
Am I just really dumb, or just missing something???
Any help will be much appreciated.

The above link is working, let me know if you have a problem with it.

Thanks, bodhi.zazen! This is a great tutorial, and I use it whenever I need some info on the fstab.

If you want stuff done right, do it yourself.

Rsync DOESN'T Preserve File Owner & Permission - Using Automounted NTFS backup drive
Also located here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1568402
Hi, this is my machine:
ext4:
1x 80gb - /boot, /swap, /(root) - sda
1x 80gb - /home - sdb
ntfs:
1x 250gb - /backups - sdc
1. First of all, I automount sdc /backups via /etc/fstab like this:
2. Second I use a rsync to backup my /boot/ /(root) and /homeCode:/dev/disk/by-label/backups /media/backups ntfs defaults,uid=1000 0 2
For example:
When I check sdc (my ntfs backup drive), all files in there are 777, whereas it should be 755, and sometimes the owner is me, whereas it should be ROOT.Code:rsync --delete -avz /boot /media/backups/boot/
As an experiment, I backed up my files NOT in sdc (my ntfs backup drive), but in my /home folder instead, RESULT: every thing is OK, and it preserved file owner & permission!
Is there something I'm missing here? Is there something I don't understand?
Please help because I'm learning to BACKUP my system. Thanks for reading, bodhi.

It's OK, everything we know will become obsolete at some time.

Thank you bodhi!
Now, I understand, it's a shame I didn't read your whole tutorial, maybe you already NOTED it there?
Can you make a tutorial for lazy bums? Just kidding.
