Hi, I'd like to mount an ISO image from the command line as non-root user. Here are my attempts, each failing with the "only root can do that" error message:
$ mount -o loop image.iso /mnt/ mount: only root can do that $ mount -o user,loop image.iso /mnt/ mount: only root can do that $ mount -o users,loop image.iso /mnt/ mount: only root can do that $ mount -o user -o loop image.iso /mnt/ mount: only root can do that $ mount -o users -o loop image.iso /mnt/ mount: only root can do that I keep reading about how the mount and umount commands need the suid bit set, which it already is: $ ll /bin/mount /bin/umount -rws--x--x 1 root root 51480 2008-04-10 14:11 /bin/mount -rws--x--x 1 root root 34584 2008-04-10 14:11 /bin/umount Furthermore, adding the following line to my /etc/fstab allows me to mount the image as non-root: /path/to/image.iso /mnt/ udf,iso9660 user,loop 0 0 However, this is not an option for me as I work with different images/mount points all the time. What can I do to be able to mount an arbitrary ISO image to an arbitrary mount point from the command line as non-root user? Thanks! Mike -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
