 Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2003 5:21 pm Post subject: mount command refuses to work as user |
 |
|
I'm about fed up with mounting my cdroms and dvd's. I have /etc/fstab setup to allow regular users to mount my cdrom and dvd drives, and have double and triple checked to make sure my users are in the cdrom and cdrw groups, but still whenever I issue the command:
| Code: |
user@lyon userhome$ mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd
|
I get the following error message:
| Code: |
mount: only root can do that
|
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
Note that I have both drives setup through scsi emulation since they are both burners. Also, the fstab entries for the two drives look like this:
| Code: |
/dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd autofs noauto,ro,user 0 0
/dev/sr1 /mnt/cdrom autofs noauto,ro,user 0 0
|
I would really appreciate your help in this matter, as I really need to have regular users be able to mount drives on their own.

As a user you can't choose what device you are going to attach to a mount point.
The command in your case will be mount /mnt/dvd and not mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd.
Specifying the device is something only root can do.

| Use users instead of user in your fstab lines. |
