mount question

Is it users or user?
Code:
mount /dev/sda5 /media/sda5 vfat rw,user,umask=0002 0 0

Or
Code:
mount /dev/sda5 /media/sda5 vfat rw,users,umask=0002 0 0

This looks like linux. It would help to know what OS so someone does not give you the wrong answer.

You could also check the man page for the mount command. On my Debian box both is possible but with different effects of course.

According to my system's man page (RHEL):

Quote:
When fstab contains the user option on a line, then anybody can mount the corresponding system.

[...]

If any user should be able to unmount, then use 'users' instead of 'user' in the fstab line.
