Description Dan Fuhry 2007-03-05 02:44:25 UTC

Description of problem:
When mounting USB mass-storage hotplug devices, the drive is mounted with
uid=root. This prevents writing to the disk unless the disk is umounted and
remounted manually.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
HAL package version: 0.5.8.1

How reproducible:
Very - seen on multiple computers

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install clean FC6
2. Update system to latest packages
3. Plug in iPod, USB flash drive, etc. and try to make a folder or something on
that drive
  
Actual results:
"Permission denied" error

Expected results:
Partition should have been mounted in a way that I would be able to write to it,
either with mode=0755 or uid=dan.

What file system is on the device?

Comment 2 Dan Fuhry 2007-03-05 16:58:30 UTC

The file system is vfat. It mounts fine on my desktop PC, which runs openSUSE 10.2.

Comment 3 Dan Fuhry 2007-03-05 17:27:12 UTC

Corrections:

 1) First post: I meant mode=0777
 2) Second post: By "fine" I mean it mounts in a way that I can write to the
disk without remounting the partition.
