How can I mount a USB external drive (SimpleTech 320 GB) as a normal user? If as a normal user I run 'mount /[mount_point]', there's no error message but the device is not mounted. As root the same command mounts the device and I am thereafter able to read and write to it as a normal user. Here's what I've got. What else do I need to do? $ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.22.14-72.fc6 (brewbuilder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-13)) #1 SMP Wed Nov 21 15:12:59 EST 2007 $ rpm -q ntfs-3g fuse ntfs-3g-1.1104-1.fc6 fuse-2.7.0-6.fc6 $ ls -l /bin/ntfs-3g -rwsrwxrwx 1 root root 39052 Nov 8 13:59 /bin/ntfs-3g In /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 /simple ntfs-3g noauto,users,rw,umask=0 0 0 $ ls -dl /simple drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Apr 1 23:18 /simple $ ls -l /dev/sd* brw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 8, 0 Apr 1 23:58 /dev/sda brw-rw-rw- 1 cwsulliv disk 8, 1 Apr 2 00:10 /dev/sda1 Thanks for your help.
