Hi,
the pmount.allow file is in general a good idea, but it has some issues.
The first thing is that - if you use an esata drive - the kernel does not
recognize that this drive is removable. Which why there's the allow file, i
guess.
But there's a problem with it, you just can add real device names here, no
links like /dev/disk/by-id/... or /dev/disk/by-uuid/ or else. But that is an
important feature, if you use multiple plugable mass storage devices, where
the device names change pretty often.
It took me 10 minutes to find out, why my pmount line in a script didnt work
anymore, until I realized that I had another usb stick plugged in, which got
the sdb device that normally uses my external hd (and which was entered in
the pmount.allow file)
Yours sincerely,
Matthias
