[Mageia-dev] fstab issue - can mount but not umount as user, ehh, what?

Fri Dec 28 17:13:10 CET 2012

Hi.
+Continuing the usbkey saga, I discovered another bug that I can't resolve.
+I have an external drive and a usbkey that I attach to my desktop systems. Both have fstab entries, identified by UUID, and its worked nice for the last 2 years.
+
+When I plug in the usbkey, I can mount it as a reguklar user, but I cannot unmount it. The error message says that only root can do that.
+The fstab entry is this:
+==
+UUID=0893-1889 /media/usbbrikke vfat nosuid,noexec,dmask=022,fmask=133,uid=500,noauto,user,iocharset=utf8 0 0
+==
+It is the same entry on the mdv2010.2 and mga2 systems, and it works on mdv but not on mga2.
+
+Does anyone know why this fstab entry allow me to mount the patition but deny me the right to umount it?
