One has the error message: "Cannot mount volume You are not priviledged to mount the volume 'FAT32'." The other has the error: "Cannot mount volume You are not priviledged to mount this volume." Here is my dmesg output: SELinux: initialized (dev sda1, type vfat), uses genfs_contexts usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 4 usb 3-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi6 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 5 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Vendor: SanDisk Model: Cruzer Mini Rev: 0.2 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 SCSI device sda: 1000944 512-byte hdwr sectors (512 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 sda: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sda: 1000944 512-byte hdwr sectors (512 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 sda: assuming drive cache: write through sda: sda1 sda2 sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 usb-storage: device scan complete Like I said I can mount it (/dev/sda1, or swapon /dev/sda2) no problem in a bash shell from the root account. But not as a regular user. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jacques
