Hi all,
I'm running a FC3 server now and am looking to move to FC6. One of the things that I didn't like in FC3 was that when a USB device is mounted, it must be written to by root only. It seemed that there was nothing that I could do to change this behavior. (So I have to become root to copy files onto my MP3 player) Has this been changed/fixed in FC6? If so, how is mounting and access handled now?

Thanks,

Mark


In FC6 when I mounted vfat disks, the permissions were set to the person logged into the console (GUI). For ext3 disks, the permissions are set to whatever permissions you want them to be. So if you want tom to have one private directory on the device and mary another directory to place files, they work as with other mounted volumes.
IMO, the USB mounting facilities are much better than back in FC3.
