1. No lo tengo yo tan claro, uid=XXX donde las XXX corresponden al uid del usuario que es un número, no un nombre.

   1. The mount option “user” only allows the filesystem to be mounted by any user (I believe this only applies to file systems with “permissions” such as ext4). If the filesystem type is one that doesn’t have permissions, such as FAT, you can add umask, gid and uid to the fstab options.
