Operation not permitted when mounting floppy or cdrom
FreeBSD 6.2. Recently installed will not permit user mount of floppy disk, cdrom, or usb. Works fine as root. Checked devfs.conf, devfs.rules, fstab, /dev. Nothing seems to make a difference. Any ideas welcomed... Thanks -- Lysergius says, Stay light, but trust gravity ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Nothing seems to make a difference. Any ideas welcomed... Thanks You don't have access to the /dev nodes. Make sure that your user has the ability to mount. Make sure that this sysctl is also set to 1: vfs.usermount: 1 If that doesn't work, then we'll have to get more info about the devices you're trying to mount (ls -l), what groups you're in, etc. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
