Why fstab's permissions are so important

Hey, folks! I had one problem some time ago. It was connected with mounting removable media. It didn’t work at all for non-root user. I set up /etc/group and /etc/passwd correctly, but it still didn’t work. I have known the /etc/fstab file, I have known what is this for, so I checked this configuration file out, too. It was correct. I really didn’t know what’s going on. Then I realized I made /etc/fstab file by myself, just like other configuration files. I often make files in other folder and then replace default files by my own files, especially when it is really needed. I had to grapple with fstab, because I had to migrate files from one partition to another, because of used file system.
