Hi Suggers,
OK, Here you go. Should be simple but is not.
Have my usb Olympic camera set up to review/download fotos fo my
system from the camera. Have it set to /mnt/usbhd.
Works fine ....as root.....When I try to mount the camera as a user,
I get the following messsage. "Only root can mount dev/sda1 on
/mnt/usbhd" Yeah, I know I can open a terminal, su, and mount the
usbhd (the camera) and go on from there. Shouldn't have to do that
though.
When I sent a message about my Olympus camera Scot Piper wrote.
"Having to be root is probably just a permissions problem with the
directory where your usb stuff goes. Just chmod a+w directory and
you (and every other user) will be able to access it"
Now, I have changed permissions on every device associated with the
camera. sda1 shows owner as Bob (that's me) and the group as users.
Why ???? can only root mount a device that is owned by me??
Here is the line from my fstab which pertains to the camera, which by
the way has been changed a dozen times in an attempt to make this
work. Don't even know why some of the entries are in there. Advice
from others trying to help out.
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd auto
noauto,usr,rw,uid=500,gid=100,umask=002,suid 0 0
Additionally, but not a big deal, you must mount the usb-storage
module for the cameera to work. I put a line in rc.d local to mount
it but if the camera is not on when I boot I a get a long list of
complaints at boot time. Is there a better way to do this?
Hope one of you sluggers can help me make this work properly.
Bob S.
PS xoming soon, a more complicated issue, scanner recognition !!
