Since your message doesn't say anything about how you're using noauto, I can only give a general reply: In the /etc/fstab file using a "noauto" option means that it won't be automatically mounted as the computer boots up. Without trying out other options, too, you'd need to be root to manually mount such an entry. Throwing in "user" will allow a user to mount something as their own. Using "users", instead, will allow anybody to mount and dismount it. See the mount and fstab man pages. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Not very intelligent, but I wasn't sure what else to put there, since the 'managed' threw me and I was stumped when lines kept disappearing and then reappearing from fstab. I do get that now, but the ones that reappear aren't the ones that disappeared, I have noticed, so the system must have some overrides stored somewhere that are not the same as the ones I had chosen. In any case, I did try auto, but with the other options, as above, but when I plugged the camera in, what I had put into fstab simply disappeared and the old line with noauto reappeared. This is not a huge problem, as I said, now that I have spent so much time on it, and have seen that firstly, nobody has any answers, and secondly, all the work I have done and suggestions, both here and on other websites, have had me just going in circles and getting nowhere. I can mount manually, which is fine, I guess. I just thought that cds mount themselves when inserted, so why not a camera. I am using the same fstab option that cds have, and they work there.
