 Posted: Thu Dec 18, 2003 9:01 am Post subject: Making Floppies Mountable |
 |
|
Hi all, I have this in /etc/fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,ro 0 0
|
When I try to mount /dev/fd0 or /mnt/floppy
I get this:
| Code: |
mount: only root can mount /dev/fd0 on /mnt/floppy
|
How can I change this so all users can mount floppies? - Also, when I mount it as root, it says I must specify a file system type. I thought it was set to auto?
A little help would be much appreciated

Basically, it's an option that says, everyone in group "users" is allowed to mount that device. Good thing for Floppies, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, ... |
