G'day,

My USB subsystem is working much better now (than it was this
weekend).  /etc/fstab had a reference to "/dev/hdb" which no my current
kernel no longer supports.  Removing this has improved flash drive
mounting a whole lot!

I've also modified /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules to use "pmount
device label" rather than "mount -a".  This is mounting flash drives
in /media as desired:

root@osage media # ls -l
total 32
drwx------ 19 root plugdev 16384 Dec 31  1969 PNY
drwx------  3 root plugdev 16384 Dec 31  1969 SD_2G

However (as can be seen above) the permissions are 700, which
makes the drives unusable by members of the plugdev group.

Alternatively, I can use "pmount -u 007 device label" to provide full
access to the plugdev group.  This seems awkward and inelegant.

What's the right way to use pmount and set permissions?

Regards,

David
