Here is my line from /etc/fstab
/dev/hdd /media/dvdrecorder subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
How can I make it so that users can access the dvd drive? Just been reading the fine manual entries of man fstab and man mount
Hi Steve, steve wrote: pages and saw a possible glitch. The 'noauto' option makes the device not be mounted at boot. At boot time only root can mount devices, yet later you are asking a non privileged user to mount the device. Perhaps the user should have root persmissions to access the device? Quoted from mount: (iii) Normally, only the superuser can mount file systems. However, when fstab contains the user option on a line, then anybody can mount the corresponding system. Thus, given a line /dev/cdrom /cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide Any user can mount the iso9660 file system found on his CDROM. Check the ORDER of the options ie user is before noauto. To me this would make a difference as 'noauto' first would mean only root can mount the device however with 'user' first the user would be given preferential treatment over root?
