You can allow non-root users to mount and unmount devices if
the sysctl variable "vfs.usermount" is set to "1".
For example, here's what you need to do to allow floppies to
be mounted:
As `root':
1. # chmod 777 /dev/fd0 # give perms to access the device
2. # sysctl -w vfs.usermount=1
Now users can mount and umount the floppies:
3. $ mkdir ~/my-mount-point
4. $ mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 ~/my-mount-point
5. $ umount ~/my-mount-point
A FAQ entry covering this point is being reviewed and should shortly
be committed.
