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
