In the default configuration, USBmount considers only ext2 and ext3 filesystems. With these filesystems, owner, group, and access permissions are not mount options, but are stored in the filesystem itself. On the other hand, a comment in the main configuration file (/etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf) has an example of how to make a device containing a vfat filesystem accessible to a specific group. The example uses the group "floppy", but of course it works equally well with the "plugdev" group. I'll copy the example from the configuration file to the README file. > Another thing I had to change in my setup was to allow vfat as > additional filesystem type, There's a comment in the configration file which explains why vfat isn't considered by default: ############################################################################# # WARNING! The vfat filesystem does not yet fully implement sync-mounting. # # If you include "vfat" in the list of filesystem types, you *MUST* make # # sure all data is written to the medium before you remove it (e.g. run the # # "sync" command in a terminal window). Otherwise, you *WILL* lose data! # ############################################################################# Again, I agree that this explanation should be repeated in the README file.
