Hi all,
I got some problems with mounting my usb device. I did all the stuff
according to point 9.22 in the FreeBSD FAQ, but I still cannot mount my
usb storage key (a sandisk cruzer mini 256 MB) as an ordinary user,
without having to change the group owner as a root. Adding the needed
lines to devfs.conf doesn't seem to help in retaining the settings
across multiple reboots. I run FreeBSD-stable 6.1
in /etc/sysctl.conf I added:
vfs.usermount=1
I added to my etc/devfs.conf the following lines:
own /dev/da0s1 root:usb
perm /dev/da0s1 0666
I added myself, the ordinary user to the group usb and checked if that
worked out by doing id $myusername:
uid=1002($myusername) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel), 1002(usb), 1004(cvs)
so I am in the group usb, and if everything went allright, also the
folder /dev/da0s1 should now owned by the group usb. So I'll reboot and
plugin the device.
I reboot and plugin my usb key. Check if things are recognized using
usbdevs:
$ devfs
addr 1: UHCI root hub, Intel
addr 2: product 0x3108, vendor 0x04b3
addr 1: UHCI root hub, Intel
addr 2: Cruzer Mini, SanDisk Corporation
seems it has been recognized. Now I check the user rights on dev/da0s1
$ su
$ ls -aln /dev | grep da0
crw-r----- 1 0 5 0, 107 Jul 8 15:17 da0
crw-r----- 1 0 5 0, 108 Jul 8 15:17 da0s1
crw-r----- 1 0 5 0, 108 Jul 8 15:17 da0s1
alas, despite the changes made in devfs.conf, the group in which da0s1
is in, is still another one than the usb-group (which has 1002) as a
group identifier. So still not able to mount the device as an ordinary
user.
anybody advice on how to tweak my devfs.conf, so that it works?
thanks,
Bram
devfs.conf is only consulted on boot. You need to play with devfs.rules
instead.
Put something like this in devfs.rules:
[system=10]
add path 'da*' mode 0660 group usb
and add this to rc.conf:
devfs_system_ruleset="system"
HTH,
Micah
