Unless you have a very good reason to leave this in place, remove it. HAL based automounters do not need fstab, but it will override their defaults
if present. A desktop automounter will usually mount the device as the
user running it, that's certainly the case with KDE and should be with
ivman.

The changing permissions on the mount point is because they are now the
permissions of something else. When nothing is mounted there, the
permissions are those of the mount point on the parent filesystem, when
you mount something, they are the permissions of the root of the mounted
device.

Do other devices, such as USB sticks, mount correctly?



Hi,

I commented out the lines in fstab for both DVD and CD drives. The only change is that I get this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] / # ls -al /media/
total 5
drwxr-xr-x  5 root  root     224 2008-07-12 04:03 .

[EMAIL PROTECTED] / #
So I disabled ivman and tried again, no change. I still can not access the DVD as a user. The CD seems to work the same way as it always has. The permissions have changed to root/root tho.
Any other ideas?

Hi,

I re-emerged udev and noticed this little foot note:

mount options for directory /dev are no longer
set in /etc/udev/udev.conf, but in /etc/fstab
as for other directories.

I don't have anything in fstab for /udev.  This is what mount reports:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] / # mount
/dev/hda6 on / type reiserfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda7 on /usr/portage type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/hda8 on /home type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/hda9 on /data type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/hdb1 on /backup type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,devmode=0664,devgid=85)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) /dev/hdd on /media/hdd type udf (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=104,gid=451,umask=007)
/dev/hdc on /media/hdc type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] / #

udev is there but is this "normal"? How does a person restart udev anyway? Do I have to reboot? I also deleted all the files in /etc/udev before re-emerging udev, just in case. I'm about out of ideas here.
