[CLUE-Tech] Mounting FAT32 partition as /home

[Angelo Bertolli]

Well I decided to install Debian.  In the process, I had this Great Idea: 
I would mount a fat32 partition under /home to allow it accessible by 
Windows.

It didn't work.  I thought for sure if I just made it umask=000 in fstab, 
it would work fine, but for some reason X won't allow me to log in.  Does 
anyone have any idea why it won't let me?  Is it because everything on 
that partition is owned by root?

The root user, which has its home directory under /root instead of /home 
is able to log in to X fine.  Are there any special reasons why the fat32 
partition would have conflicts?  my fstab is basically vfat and 
defaults,umask=000
