Hi, |
| 2 |
|

I'd like to mount an ISO image from the command line as non-root user. |
| 4 |
Here are my attempts, each failing with the "only root can do that" |
| 5 |
error message: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
$ mount -o loop image.iso /mnt/ |
| 8 |
mount: only root can do that |
| 9 |
$ mount -o user,loop image.iso /mnt/ |
| 10 |
mount: only root can do that |
| 11 |
$ mount -o users,loop image.iso /mnt/ |
| 12 |
mount: only root can do that |
| 13 |
$ mount -o user -o loop image.iso /mnt/ |
| 14 |
mount: only root can do that |
| 15 |
$ mount -o users -o loop image.iso /mnt/ |
| 16 |
mount: only root can do that |
| 17 |

I keep reading about how the mount and umount commands need the suid |
| 19 |
bit set, which it already is: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
$ ll /bin/mount /bin/umount |
| 22 |
-rws--x--x 1 root root 51480 2008-04-10 14:11 /bin/mount |
| 23 |
-rws--x--x 1 root root 34584 2008-04-10 14:11 /bin/umount |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Furthermore, adding the following line to my /etc/fstab allows me to |
| 26 |
mount the image as non-root: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
/path/to/image.iso /mnt/ udf,iso9660 user,loop 0 0 |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
However, this is not an option for me as I work with different |
| 31 |
images/mount points all the time. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
What can I do to be able to mount an arbitrary ISO image to an |
| 34 |
arbitrary mount point from the command line as non-root user? |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Thanks! |
