 |
|
I keep getting the error "only root can mount this device" when i try to mount the cdrom or floppy from within kde.. I am logged in as a user with wheel group membership, this user is also a member of the cdrom group.
I must be able to mount and unmount both devices as this user rather than root. Any ideas? I am a recent convert to gentoo. I was running suse 7.3 before this and did not have that problem.
I even tried changing file permissions.. didn't help so i replaced them.
As root they mount/unmount just fine.

man fstab. Look for the 'user' option.

same thing, but wanting to be able to mount and umount samba drives
fstab looks like this:
| Code: | /dev/hde1 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hde5 / xfs noatime 0 0
/dev/hde6 /usr xfs noatime 0 0
/dev/hde7 /home xfs noatime 0 0
/dev/hde8 /redhat ext3 noatime 0 0
/dev/hde9 /mandrake xfs noatime 0 0
//tekkaman/music /music smbfs username=guest,password=,user 0 0
//tekkaman/crap /crap smbfs username=guest,password=,user 0 0
/dev/hde10 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/burner iso9660 noauto,user
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
|
users can mount and umount cdroms, but fails when trying to mount samba mounts, sayingo nly root can.
can u see where I've gone wrong ?

It would appear that the mount command (which I believe runs through /etc/fstab at startup) doesn't actually know anything about how to mount smb shares; it simply receives a binary argument from smbmount. My suggestion would be to add something like:
| Code: | | smbmount //tekkaman/music /music -o username=user,password=xxxxx |
to your /etc/conf.d/local.start ; additionally, add a "smbumount /music" line to /etc/conf.d/local.stop, so things get unmounted nicely. |
