[gentoo-user] More file system frustration
If I try and do: moriah ~ # mount -t ceph 192.168.44.68:6789:/ /mnt/ceph -o users mount error 22 = Invalid argument It turns out the driver doesnt recognise the user or users mount option and gentoo wont let a user mount or access a root mount, or even let a user mount. Tried adding the user to the disk group without any effect. Something in gentoo's user access control is causing this problem I think, so how can I get around it? BillK

BillK I was able to chown the mount so a user can access it - not as flexible as the normal way but its user accessible. BillK

Try creating an entry in /etc/fstab. For example: 192.168.44.68:6789://mnt/cephcephusers0 0 Then see if you can mount by its mountpoint: $ mount /mnt/ceph It turns out the driver doesnt recognise the user or users mount option and gentoo wont let a user mount or access a root mount, or even let a user mount. Tried adding the user to the disk group without any effect. It's not a driver option. /bin/mount is suid root and refers to fstab to decide whether a non-root user should be allowed to mount. Generally speaking, regular user accounts should not be added to the disk group. That provides raw read/write access to block device nodes such as dev/sda, which is a potential risk both in terms of safety and security.

BillK Thanks Kerin, but that has the same problem - but it did allow me to chown the mount point so its usable/testable by users. BillK
