Hi All,
"#" is roots user prompt
"$" is my user's prompt
# mount -t ext3 -o users,exec /dev/sdc1 /mnt/LIVE
# chmod -R 2777 /mnt/LIVE
$ cp -R /home/CDs/Keepers/Linux/Usb.CreateLiveUSB /mnt/LIVE
$ umount /mnt/LIVE
I can not umount /mnt/LIVE because it is not in fstab
and "$" is not root.
I want the user to be able to umount this on and I don't
want it cluttering up fstab.
Is there an "-o" option that will allow the
user to umount it?
You don't know the whole story. I wanted to mount it
as root. Then I wanted to test if I could write to
it as group=user (100).
I wanted to umount the drive as a user so I
didn't have to go back to root and then back to
user again for some more tests you are not seeing.
I was hoping there was a "-o " option to allow
that. Google have failed me.

What you do as root usually must be undone by root.
Perfect use case for a specific 'sudo' to allow a specific user to
umount /mnt/LIVE.
Hi Chris,
These are just copy and paste instructions on something I will
do maybe two or three times a year. I was just thinking that
if "-o uses,exec" let the user write and execute, maybe there was
a "-o" to let the user dismount.
I will just use Substitute User in the copy and paste instructions:
su root -c "umount /mnt/LIVE"
Thanks to everyone for the tips!
-T
