Short answer: it's not supported Longer answer: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=916987#35 There are patches for pmount floating around and I used a locally build and patched pmount. Depending on your local security requirements you might be also fine with adding the suid flag but that's not something I can recommend for everyone. Cheers, Sven
