umask allows all users to read-write in windows partitions. It's like permissions opposite; in a certain way umask=000 is chmod=777.

Kudzu is a service (?) that scans for new hardware. When you install something new or remove hardware from your machine you should run Kudzu to get it configured.
But I cannot figure out for what is it there in /etc/fstab.
