[wplug] Disk permissions

[Ted Rodgers]

/media/*  directories are very likely managed by your desktop
environment which would be using hal or consolekit or another means to
mount them. Permissions to "automount" or mount on click there often
depend on being in plugdev (or similar) group. and most distributions
discourage manual intervention under /media because of their automagic
tools.

One workaround I found in fedora forum regarding removable media and
user mounting mentioned editing /etc/sysctl.conf file and adding :

vfs.usermount=1


As an alternative, this should work in your /etc/fstab if /mnt/floppy
exists, although you'd have to mount on the command line:

/dev/fd0    /mnt/floppy    vfat    users,umask=0777    0 2
