Ok. So my question is: how should normal users access stored filesystems? For instance, on my machine (well, it has only one user), I have made all the partitions I use world readable/writable (666) in such a way that I can `mount' those partitions writable in my home dir. So, in the `real world', should the devices be 644 or even 600, in which case there would be only one mount point chosen by the administrator? In this case, we could only take advantage of the fact that the fs code is lying in user space with non-stored filesystems (eg. a user is allowed to mount an nfs/ftpfs/httpfs/shadowfs but is still not allowed to mount a disk filesystem).
