The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

ubuntu auto mount at startup

Asked by sniper038 in Ubuntu

Tags: ubuntu, linux, partition, fat32, mount

I have both XP and Ubuntu (easypeasy distro) installed on my laptop. The hard disk is partitioned as follow:
[20GB,NTFS:XP][40GB,FAT32:Shared][20GB,EXT3:Ubuntu(EP)]

so, the middle partition i created, was aimed to be shared between the two OS's. But I faced a problem with ubuntu OS; I had to mount the FAT32 partition every time I start ubuntu. however, I followed some online tutorials and have made changes on 'fstab' so it auto mount the FAT32 partition at startup.
The question: is that (auto mount on startup) the best way of sharing a partition in my case?

the other thing:
there's 'unmount volume' option for the FAT32 partition (since it auto mounted at startup).
the qestions:
is it possible to disallow  or hide the 'unmount volume' option on FAT32 partition and how?
