Thanks. That approach won't work in the general case. I'll probably |
| 10 |
have to change the command in my "mdev rules" to something like... |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
sudo -u waltdnes pmount blah blah blah |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
...where "waltdnes" is my regular user account. That'll also allow me |
| 15 |
to unmount it with the pumount command from my regular account. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
In the case of my backups to an external USB drive, I have to be root |
| 18 |
anyways, so I'll just... |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
* plug in the external drive |
| 21 |
* unmount it after the automount |
| 22 |
* remount it manually as root |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
...and proceed from there. |
