The device is probably probed, and vfat identified as filesystem; try the '-o umask=000' option in your mount command. Or add the following entry in /etc/fstab: "/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat users,umask=000 0 0"
Hi!
I have a question which seems to me to be very simple to answer. I've spent the last hours looking in this forum, as well as kanotix.com, and linuxquestions.org- and I almost feel stupid for not having found any answer to it.
OK, I plug in a USB-devices (I'm using a SD-card & a USB-harddrive). Then, as root, I write
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
the drive gets mounted. Which I find surprising since it is not defined in fstab - it's nice, but I don't understand how it works (an explanation would be very much appreciated for the learning newbie![]()
The problem is that only root has access to the mounted drives. I don't know how to change this, especially since the device is not defined in fstab. Please help. Thanks in advance.

many thanks!
Of all the answers I've gotten on this and similar issues across different forums, this is the one tha helped; umask=000!
I'm trying to figure out another thing now, namely how to get an icon pop up automatically on the desktop when a device is inserted. This should be possible as it happens when running from the liveCD. However, information on how to get a HD-install behave that way seems very hard to find. Any suggestions?
Thanks again![]()
As root in a console, run this:This is a knoppix specific package that isn't in Debian proper, but it will create the icons on your user(s) desktop except root based on what was entered in /etc/fstab. If /etc/fstab doesn't have an entry for all of your mountpoints, then it won't create any icons for what isn't in there.Code:mkdesktophdicons
