Boot time disk check without fstab entry

Hello.

I have 2 disks in my machine. There are several partitions on each one. Only my root partition is mounted at boot time.
I am used to mount the other disk on demand using Krusader dropdown menu which is nice and I like this method.
The thing is, that these other partitions never get checked, because they are not in fstab.
I would like them to be checked when nescessary, so I tried to add them with noauto, user options. This caused the initial boot check, which is nice, but I can not mount them using Krusader anymore. I get message that I do not have permissions for that.
I would appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks.

Re: Boot time disk check without fstab entry

Hi Raqua.  Can you share the relevant parts of your /etc/fstab?  What happens when you try to manually mount one of the disks (eg.  'mount /dev/hdx')?

Re: Boot time disk check without fstab entry

my fstab looks like this:

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0


/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom   auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/dvd /media/dvd   auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
UUID=591cc007-1f65-43bc-9fd2-b5918bf1b69d / ext3 defaults 0 1
UUID=0ec6faa4-8a02-44be-aea2-06012645e056 swap swap defaults 0 0
UUID=5b6a96c8-becc-46ce-a1dd-4ca568538488 /media/Data ext3 user,noauto,rw 0 0

If I do (as user not root) mount /media/Data, it works fine. When I try to mount disk from Krusader, I get "Permission denied". PolicyKit/Hal permission issue maybe ?
