Hi,
I have been banging my head for quite a few hours now. Can't I mount a
fixed (internal SATA) drive with write access as a normal user? Here
is the relevant line from fstab:
/dev/sdb1 /media/backup ext3 user,noauto,rw 0 0
$ ls -l /media/backup
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 2007-10-12 03:12 /media/backup
$ mount /dev/sdb1
$ ls -l /media/backup
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-10-12 03:12 /media/backup
Why am I loosing the write access??
Maybe, it's because the directory /media/backup is owned by root?
In order to allow mounting for normal users, I suggest the package pmount.
He only needs to change the permissions on /media/backup *after* he's
mounted the partition.
