 |
|
Forum members -
I am trying to use raw disk mappings with virtual box, and in order to do so I need to change the permissions on /dev/sda*. If I use chmod to do it the permissions get changed back to what they were on boot. Can someone point me in the right directions as to what I need for a udev rule so the I can set the permission on boot for /dev/sda?
Thanks, and happy holidays.

How do I do that? Can use fstab to set permissions on /dev/sda?
Thanks,

I have these examples:
| Code: | | /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0 |
Any User can mount scd1 (group dependent). Only the user, that mounted scd1 can umount it.
| Code: | | /dev/scd0 /media/cdrecorder auto defaults,users,noauto 0 0 |
Any User can mount scd0 (group dependend). Look at users. Any user can umount it. (As I understood. Not tested)
You'll find more information here: http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount.
I have never tested virtualbox before, but if there is a special user, this would solve your Problem. (set user=virtualbox)
However, if you run virtualbox as a user (not root), it'll look at /etc/fstab and mount the device, if permitted. |
