In kernel 2.6.8-1-686, setting user, uid, and gid seems to have no
effect on the state of a filesystem. I would like to have an fstab
entry along the lines of:
/dev/sda /mnt/ipod hfsplus user,noauto 0 0
To enable the user (me, when I don't have to be root) to move files
onto and off of the drive.
However, when I do this I get the following:
spacey@jogo:/etc/hotplug$ mount /mnt/ipod
spacey@jogo:/etc/hotplug$ ls -laF /mnt/ipod
ls: /mnt/ipod/.: Permission denied
ls: /mnt/ipod/..: Permission denied
ls: /mnt/ipod/.journal: Permission denied
ls: /mnt/ipod/.journal_info_block: Permission denied
ls: /mnt/ipod/.Trashes: Permission denied
ls: /mnt/ipod/Calendars: Permission denied
ls: /mnt/ipod/Contacts: Permission denied
ls: /mnt/ipod/iPod_Control: Permission denied
ls: /mnt/ipod/Notes: Permission denied
total 0
I've received the same results when passing in the "uid" "gid" or
"user" flags from the mount command and within /etc/fstab. Is there a
fix for this?
