For ordinary users to be able to mount file systems, three conditions have to be met: -1- sysctl vfs.usermount=1 -2- The user must have read+write access to the device to be mounted. Usually you will solve that via group permissions, e.g. create a group for people who are allowed to mount a certain device, then put those people into that group (via /etc/group), and change the permission modes of the device so that the group can read+write it. -3- The user must own the mount point. Note that read+ write access is not sufficient here, and group rights don't matter -- the user must be the owner of the mount point. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
