In SuSE, it seems like fstab is not synchronized with the newly plugged-in storage devices. I've noticed that there was no entry for my USB flash when I plugged it into my system.
I want to set the uid and umask in the mount options for my flash so that nobody can access the mount point except me.
In FC4, I can control the mount options by modifying fstab, but if I add a new entry into fstab in SuSE and double click the device icon in the "File Browser", I just got a error message dialog as follow :
Mount Error Operation failed /dev/sda1 found in /etc/fstab
I wonder how SuSE choose the mount options when it auto-mounts USB storage, and when I double click the device icon in the "File Browser".
I've added new fdi file to set the policy for the mount options, and I've confirmed the values in the "lshal", but it didn't work. /proc/mounts had no mount options I set in fdi file.
Could someone give me a hint?

You don't say which version of SuSE you are using but here is the entry in my fstab which SUSE 10.1 created: usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto 0 0 When the USB flash is plugged in it appears in /media and the entry in mtab is: /dev/sda1 /media/CORSAIR vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,flush,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=lower 0 0 Cheers. -- This computer is environment-friendly and is running on OpenSuSE 10.1
