Thanks. Giovanni. I just installed gparted and converted a vfat
partition to ext3. I updated fstab like this:
/dev/hdb6 /mnt/windows vfat
umask=0111,dmask=0,codepage=862,iocharset=utf8,uid=0,gid=0,auto,rw,users
0 0

became:
/dev/hdb6 /mnt/new_pictures ext3 defaults,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid,nouser 0 2

I just copied what I have for my /home partition:
/dev/hda8 /home ext3 defaults,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid,nouser 0 2

However, my regular user account does not have write access to this
disk. How can I enable write access for the regular (non-root) users?

Thanks.
