In your fstab file, add the "user" option to the disk. That should allow anyone to mount/umount the drive.
stratus@stratus-desktop ~ $ sudo blkid /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: LABEL="System Reserved" UUID="BEDC1FE2DC1F942D" TYPE="ntfs"
mount
none on /sys/fs/pstore type pstore (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /big_space type xfs (rw)
/dev/sda6 on /home type xfs (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /mnt type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
sudo mkdir /email
sudo chown $USER /email
sudo nano /etc/fstab
UUID=BEDC1FE2DC1F942D /email ntfs defaults,user 0 0
I've never experienced what you are seeing however you are going to want to do a few things to make sure that you don't need authentication for this disk:
While the disk is already inserted do something like this (replace /dev/sda1 with the the sd card device... from your screen shot it appears to be sdb1 at this time)
Code:stratus@stratus-desktop ~ $ sudo blkid /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1: LABEL="System Reserved" UUID="BEDC1FE2DC1F942D" TYPE="ntfs"
Find out what type of filesystem is on the SD Card (most likely vfat):
Code:mount
This will display gibberish like this:
Code:none on /sys/fs/pstore type pstore (rw) /dev/sdb1 on /big_space type xfs (rw) /dev/sda6 on /home type xfs (rw) /dev/sda1 on /mnt type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
You will see 'type xfs' or something similar, this value is what goes in the fstab. In my case, this drive is an NTFS drive represented by the fuseblk
Make a directory to mount this to i.e.:
Code:sudo mkdir /email sudo chown $USER /email
Take that uuid and edit your fstab:
Code:sudo nano /etc/fstab
Insert:
Code:UUID=BEDC1FE2DC1F942D /email ntfs defaults,user 0 0
This should allow you to mount the SD Card without authentication. It will always mount into /email
UUID=BEDC1FE2DC1F942D /email ntfs defaults,user,uid=<your username> 0 0
Code:UUID=BEDC1FE2DC1F942D /email ntfs defaults,user,uid=<your username> 0 0
Thanks! I think that did it!
ls -ld /your/mount/point
do an
Code:ls -ld /your/mount/point
And post the output
Also post the output (screen shot or cut and paste the text) of the exact error, and also what you were doing at the time you generated the error
