Bug Description
I have a Athlon PC with ig ram, cdrom, dvd, 2 ide disks with 5 partitions. I made a clean install install of Feisty on the computer with admin user hester and added a user hein PLs see FSTAB and MTAB outputs below. As can be seen, this pc is a stand alone system and I need access to all the partitions from any of the users. I only have access to the home files and no other particions. I also tried to update both users with admin and root access through the user panel. Not updating the FSTAB and MTAB files or changing the user access works. I tested this on SUSE 10.2 and it works there.
I therefore think is it a bug in Feisty. I understand the root issues in Ubuntu, but it should work through FSTAB changes as I now only have access to 35 Gb of my 200Gb capacity. Also the DVD rom does not work no matter what. It is a ide with a cdrom as slave and dvd as master. cdrom works fine, but new dvd gets detected but cannot be opened.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. In regards to users accessing partitions I believe there is an error in your '/etc/fstab' file. You have the keyword 'users' but it should be 'user'. Could you please also add the full output of 'dmesg' as an attachment to your bug report to determine what is going on with your DVD drive? Thanks in advance.
