Hi,
I want to be able to use usb drives as a normal user so I added the line :
perm da0 0777
in /etc/devfs.conf
But when I plug in the device, da0 and da0s1 is created with default
permission :
[nicblais] /dev> ll da*
crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 148 Oct 2 13:53 da0
crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 149 Oct 2 13:53 da0s1
Although I can mount it fine as root, I have to chmod 777 to make it work for
other users.
[nicblais] /dev# chmod 777 da0*
[nicblais] /dev# ll da*
crwxrwxrwx 1 root operator 0, 148 Oct 2 13:53 da0*
crwxrwxrwx 1 root operator 0, 149 Oct 2 13:53 da0s1*
I'm assuming it would work if I left the usb drive plugged in while booting
but that kinda defeats the purpose of a portable storage media.
Is my entry in /etc/devfs.conf not correct?
Any help appreciated,
Nicolas.
Add a something like this to devfs.rules
[system=10]
add path 'da*' mode 0660 group media
Here I relax access to just the media group, but you could obviously
just use something like "add path 'da*' mode 0777".
