If you can do 'sudo pmount /dev/hda2 mylabel', then doing 'sudo mkdir -p /media/mylabel; sudo mount /dev/hda2 /media/mylabel' (or the more common case 'sudo mount /dev/hda2 /mnt') is not all that much different, is it? I am hesitant about introducing such hacks into pmount. pmount is not meant to be a convenience wrapper around mount, but a policy checking layer to allow users to do things they cannot do with mount. Poking holes into that layer makes it much more prone to bugs and vulnerabilities. If you have sudo rights, wrapping mount into a gksudo call should be done in some non-setuid frontend at a higher level. -- pmount should not refuse to mount nonremovable drives without fstab entry https://launchpad.net/bugs/48118 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
