Folk, Filesystem permissions are for filesystems and not for volumes or parts. So what is the usual way to assign ownership of any USB flash store and any CD so that any user has full access? Are these lines in /etc/fstab sufficient? /dev/sda /flash ext3 rw,users,auto /dev/hdc /cd ext3 rw,users,auto Should this work when udev is present? Thanks, ...
