How do I permit ordinary users to mound SCSI devices ?
As suggested in the FAQ, section 9, I am able to allow members of operator group mount the cdrom by setting sysctl -w vfs.usrmount=1
This does not appear to work with SCSI devices. (ex: /dev/da0s2)
I get the error:
> mount -t msdos /dev/da0s2 ~/ipod
msdosfs: /dev/da0s2: Permission denied
the last time I was bitten by that issue, the mount point had to be owned by the user (group write access apparently isn't enough). that's a bit of a problem with things like gui mounters and I hope that that behaviour will be changed sometime in the future. at least I can't see any security problems with a user being able to mount over a mountpoint where he only has group write access.
