I'm having troubles mounting a flash drive as normal user. It's a 32MB
Multimedia Card, in a SanDisk 6-In-1 usb card reader. I have the stock
 Arch kernel, no customizations.

lsusb output:

Relative fstab entries:

/dev/sda     /home/jerry/mnt/sda    vfat  user,noauto   0   0
/dev/sdb     /home/jerry/mnt/sdb    vfat  user,noauto   0   0
/dev/sdc     /home/jerry/mnt/sdc    vfat  user,noauto   0   0
/dev/sdd     /home/jerry/mnt/sdd    vfat  user,noauto   0   0

The MMC card shows up as /dev/sdb. I can mount it in /home/jerry/mnt/sdb as
root, but when I try to mount it as user jerry I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ mount /dev/sdb ~/mnt/sdb
mount: only root can do that
[EMAIL PROTECTED] $

ls -l on /home/jerry/mnt shows:

drwxr-xr-x   2 jerry users 4096 2006-01-27 19:41 sda
drwxr-xr-x   2 jerry users 4096 2006-01-27 19:41 sdb
drwxr-xr-x   2 jerry users 4096 2006-01-27 19:41 sdc
drwxr-xr-x   2 jerry users 4096 2006-01-27 19:24 sdd

Should't user "jerry" be able to mount it? Since "jerry" has write privs to
sdb, and "user" is in fstab?

I've done it this way before on Slackware, but I can't get it to work for me
in Arch.


Thanks!
