From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; T312461) Description of problem: The problem is that when a user plugs in a USB zip drive, the fstab gets updated but the device does not get the perms that will let them mount it. The console.perms only has /mnt/zip* in it for the <zip> class. Curiously, the /mnt/zip* directory don't get perm changes anyway. I know previously <zip> used to have /dev/zip* in it and kudzu used to make /dev/zip* links to the real devices. I guess updfstab needs to be fixed to make those links and /dev/zip* needs to be put back in console.apps. Also, zip's seems to come in two formats. In one format, you mount partition 4 (e.g. /dev/sda4). In another, you have to mount the whole disk (e.g. /dev/sda). It would be nice if updfstab handled both these using something like /mnt/zipalt100.0 for the whole disk device. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attach a USB zip drive 2. Put a zip in drive 3. Try to mount as the normal user logged into console Actual Results: User did not have permission to mount drive Expected Results: User should be able to mount drive Additional info:
