Switching to terminal mode and SU then issuing mount command works. (As does umount in this mode.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase 3.3.0-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Insert zip disc in drive 2.Attempt to mount 3. Additional info:
i think it's pam problem here. reassign to correct component
What's the mount point of your zip drive?
Please show me the relevant line from your /etc/fstab file.
This is a problem with udev - the zip mount device isn't there for pam_console to change ownership if the zip diskette isn't inserted into the drive during reboot. Reassigning.
well not much I can do about that... there is no /dev/zip in /etc/security/console.perms otherwise one could create a symlink to /dev/zip with a udev rule and pam_console would do the rest btw, victor, could you please post the output of: # udevinfo -a -p `udevinfo -q path -n /dev/hdb`
udevinfo -a -p 'udevinfo' -q 'path' -n '/dev/hdb' device not found in database (if this is correct command line??)
try: # udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q 'path' -n '/dev/hda')
oops... hdb of course... you missed some "`" in comment #7 # udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q 'path' -n '/dev/hdb')
$ udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q 'path' -n '/dev/hdb') couldn't get the class device
try to mount a zip disk as root, then retry, please
/dev/zip needs to be in /etc/security/console.perms $ rpm -qf /etc/security/console.perms pam-0.77-61
Done in pam-0.77-62. However I'm not convinced it will help.
