udev usb permissions

socrbird · 05-08-2008, 04:22 PM

I am trying to restrict the ability for anyone other than root to have access to any external usb memory sticks. I have tried creating a udev rule with the following:
KERNEL=="sdb1", MODE="0600", OPTIONS+="last_rule"

But it doesn't work. After implementing this, it doesn't allow even root access to the usb mem stick. Any ideas from anyone?

I saw that post. I am still having issues.

Well, then you know UDEV honors fstab settings, what is your fstab line for this device?
