??? cdrom and floppy mounting
How do I enable users to mount cdroms and floppys. I can't seem to get it to work even though I list user in the etc/fstab....? When I try to mount as a user, it says "only root can do that".
Also, will setting mount to auto automatically mount the cdrom/floppy during start up for both root and user logins, so that I don't have to 'mount' it? Thanks, rikkulinux |
Code:
/dev/hdc /mnt/dvd auto noauto,users,ro 0 0 And, yeah, putting auto in column 4 will mount those into your filesystem at boot. You'd still have to umount and mount when you wanted to switch, though. And it will obey fstab so if a user can umount them ordinarily, then they can with auto. Except that the script that initializes the mount is probably run with root privileges, so user can't unmount root's device. Maybe some guru will have a solution for that or maybe I'm just wrong. Try it and see. :) |
That seemed to work: 'mount /mnt/floppy'.
Thanks, Matt |
