Package: udev
Version: 157-1
Severity: wishlist
To allow people at a multiuser installation to write Debian
installation media to take home with them, it would be nice to able to
automatically grant the current user access to any newly attached
removable block devices (think: USB key).
The current /lib/udev/91-permissions.rules only grants access to the
"floppy" group.
SUBSYSTEM=="block", GROUP="disk"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTRS{removable}=="1", GROUP="floppy"
Naturally, most users are members of plugdev but not floppy, since
they can be trusted with access to their own but not others’ removable
media. With the help of pmount, if a suitable file system is present
on the disk, users can copy files, but the lower-level operations
needed to write a boot disk require access to the block device.
Thoughts?
