Package: mount
Version: 2.13-13
Severity: important

The problem: CD-ROMs are not readable by non-root users.

Details: When I mount a CD-ROM with Rock Ridge extensions, the
owner/group contains the uid/gid of the user who created the CD-ROM
(which doesn't make any sense since the CD-ROM was created on a
different machine). There should be a way to override that, and
using the uid/gid of the user who mounted the CD-ROM should probably
be the default. Otherwise the CD-ROM cannot be read by users who
don't have root access on the machine.

In my /etc/fstab file:

/dev/cdrom   /cdrom   iso9660   defaults,user,noauto    0      0

Also note that the uid/gid options can't be used by non-root users.
