You need to be root to be able to mount.
Otherwise you need to specify the user option in /etc/fstab. From the mount manpage: Quote:

Thats no problem and you can certainly mount, but you may not be able to burn. I'm not exactly sure about how burning works, I'm sure that other might be able to help.
One thing is that burning applications (that I know of) use cdrecord internally and if that program has necessary execute permissions and your cd drive has been mounted with write permissions for your userid, then I believe you should be able to burn cd's. Else you might have to read up on the burning application that you are planning to use and make changes accordingly. I use k3b and I have set it up so that all users belonging to the group "burning" has privileges to burn disks. |
