I know the problem and I think I can solve it. 1) You can add mount options for usbfs (devgid=100,devmode=0664) in fstab. 2) arch's initscripts mount usbfs long after the other filesystems have been mounted. It does mount -a -t nousbfs and mounts usbfs later, but _ignoring_ fstab. This is done because in older initscripts, the usb modules (especially usbcore) were not loaded by the time the filesystems were mounted. This has changed about half a year ago. So it would now be possible to remove the "nousbfs" from our generic mount command, drop the separate mounting at the end of rc.sysinit and thus automagically respect the mount options given by fstab. I just read over rc.sysinit again and discovered that the above is not entirely true: the nousbfs option still exists, but the part where usbfs is mounted is gone. In fact, I don't have usbfs mounted on my machine. So the solution would even be simpler: Remove the "nousbfs" and add the right options to fstab. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
