I realize the value and meaning of umask on the fstab options I think what I wasn't sure about was the last two numeric options at the end of the entry. For ext2, I have 1 1 and on the FAT entries, it shows as 1 0. At this point, I don't recall if slackware did that or if I specifically set it that way based on man page info. Like I said before, I need to go back and review that stuff. I set those up quite some time ago; it works great so leave it alone and thusly forget about it:).
