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
