The man page says:
The non-superuser mounts.
Normally, only the superuser can mount filesystems. However, when fstab
contains the user option on a line, anybody can mount the corresponding
filesystem.
Ok, let's try this out:
/etc/fstab:
...
/home/userx/tmp/myfs1.img /home/userx/tmp/mymnt1 auto user,noauto 0 0
/home/userx/tmp/myfs2.img /home/userx/tmp/mymnt2 auto user,noauto 0 0
userx@mach:~/tmp$ ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 userx userx 10485760 Nov 19 02:11 myfs1.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 userx userx 10485760 Nov 17 07:20 myfs2.img
drwxr-xr-x 2 userx userx 4096 Nov 19 18:38 mymnt1
drwxr-xr-x 2 userx userx 4096 Nov 19 18:38 mymnt2
userx@mach:~/tmp$ mount /home/userx/tmp/myfs1.img /home/userx/tmp/mymnt1
mount: only root can do that
So, then why is this not working?
