mount permissions

(1/1)

dentonlt:
Mount requires superuser, even if /etc/fstab says a file system can be mounted by any user (option 'users').

Maybe this was intentional?
Maybe this snuck in when mount changed in 1.1 (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=597.msg3632#msg3632)?
 
My own fix is via:

chmod a+s /bin/mount
chmod a+s /bin/umount

Still obeys fstab, but allows users to run mount at CLI.

roberts:
Perhaps you are using and extension or remaster?
umount in the base is a busybox applet so doing chmod a+s is making busybox superuser.
