Hi all, It seems like everyone in the Devuan community has written his or her own usb drive automounter, and I've just discovered something that will help us all. The thumb drive you buy at the store is formatted with a Windows file system, and that's a good thing because it's mountable pretty much by any device or computer. Sneakernet at its best. But you must be root to mount it unless it's declared in /etc/fstab, which is a bad idea for a number of reasons. And if you mount it as root, normally the owner is root, and with its (typical) 755 permissions, a normal user can't write to it. Defeating its whole purpose. What you really want is for anyone in a certain group to be able to write to it. I used group "floppy", because a USB drive is a pretty good analog to a floppy, and floppies aren't even used much anymore. So do the mount like this: mount -o gid=floppy,fmask=113,dmask=002 /dev/sdd1 /mnt/thumb or mount -o gid=floppy,fmask=113,dmask=002 /dev/sdd1 /mnt/sdd1 The gid= means the thumb drive and all its files are group "floppy", and the fmask and dmask make directories 775 and 664 respectively, so group "floppy" can write. I haven't yet tried this on a genuine ext4 formatted thumb drive, so I don't know whether it would have any downside there. If so, the different mount options would only appear if the thumb drive was determined to be vfat/fat/msdos etc. SteveT Steve Litt April 2016 featured book: Rapid Learning for the 21st Century http://www.troubleshooters.com/rl21 _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
