Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick - VFAT usb drives mount with root access only
Hi,
Exactly as what happens in Ubuntu 10.04, VFAT usb drives mount with root access only,
https:/
same thing happens to Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick now.
The workaround in above bug report doesn't apply to me -- I don't have usbmount installed.
Tech details is the same as
https:/
when I mount the vfat manually with very specific read and write permissions for my user id of 1000 and have 777 permissions to the whole mount point, everything are still mounted as root:root
# chmod -R 777 /media/usb1
# ls -l /media | grep usb1
drwxrwxrwx 32 myuser myuser 16384 2010-09-23 23:08 usb1
and the mount
/dev/sdb3 on /media/usb1 type vfat (rw,noexec,
# ls -l /media | grep usb1
drwx------ 4 root root 4096 1969-12-31 19:00 usb1
# ls -l /media/usb1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22 2010-09-12 00:15 file1.txt
. . .
The same mount command have always been working fine under Debian.
