What keyword is missing in the following line from /etc/fstab in order to grant the user fred write access to the files in the vfat file system on /dev/sdb1:
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbflash vfat defaults, _________=fred, umask=022, 0 0
(Specify ONLY the option name without any path or parameters.)
The correct keyword to grant the user 'fred' write access to the files in the vfat file system on /dev/sdb1 is 'uid'. The 'uid' option specifies the user ID that should own all files on the mounted filesystem, which in this case is 'fred'. By setting 'uid=fred', you grant user 'fred' ownership and therefore write access to the files.
it must be "user". "uid" is a numerical value, "user" a string
uid - 100%
user is right answer
uid can be a str or num in this case. The user option allows normal users to mount the drive and does not indicate write permissions
'uid' seems to be correct. https://serverfault.com/questions/43634/how-to-mount-external-vfat-drive-as-user
uid=fred
