Hi all -
I've recently installed FreeBSD 6.2-release - very impressed!
Just a small problem. I'm unable to mount my USB key as a user. ( I can
mount it as root, using the
command "mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt " )
This is what I get when I try to mount it as a user -
$ mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /home/andy
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Permission denied
$ mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Operation not permitted
I followed the instructions in the FAQ ( section 9.23 ) to the letter (
the only change being that that doesn't mention
USB devices, so I've substituted the USB device name da0 for the device
names there. )
Here are the relevant bits of information -
Release - FreeBSD 6.2-release running on a Dell OptiPlex P3 system.
Soon after I inserted the USB key, I ran tail - here's the output -
$ tail -f /var/log/messages

( Just before posting here, I was about to add a usb entry to the
fstab, but then I thought "No -
it wasn't needed for root to mount the device, and adding that to the
fstab wasn't mentioned in
the FAQ that I was carefully following"......)
$ groups andy
andy wheel operator
$ cat /etc/rc.conf
( removed my IP address details for the purposes of posting here )
linux_enable="YES"
moused_enable="YES"
usbd_enable="YES"
So, I'm a bit puzzled as to what I might have missed. I've now even
rebooted a couple of times, but
nothing has changed. I can mount the device as root but not as a user.
So, any suggestions are very
welcome... Thanks very much for your time :-)
- Andy
