Ok, I tried to change permission level to 666 for /dev/sda and /dev/sda1, but
I can't mount (on my host system) my pen-drive unless I leave the
"user" word in the /etc/fstab file.
To make this mount attempt I modified my fstab as below (as regard /dev/sda1):
/dev/sda1 /mnt/pendrive auto rw,noauto
0 0
I also added my user to disk group. I should be "mountable" because
# ls -l /dev/sda*
brw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 8, 0 Nov 10 00:42 /dev/sda
brw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 8, 1 Nov 10 00:42 /dev/sda1
As you see permission level is set to 666. My user belongs to disk group.
It maight be that disk group is useful to do something else... I don't
know to do what.
Now, I restored either /etc/fstab either permission level to 600 for /dev/sda*.
It seems both my ideas don't work.
