mount readable for non-root user with udisks-glue

Hello,

I am looking for a solution to automount my usb devices. Based on the wiki I decided to go for udisks + udisks-glue. Everything seems works quite nicely, but udisks-glue is not mounting with the users flag, which leads to a mount just read/writable for the root user. This is obviously quite inconvenient.

This is my simple udisks-glue.conf:

filter disks {
        optical = false
        partition_table = false
        usage = filesystem
}

match disks {
        automount = true
        automount_options = { rw,noatime,sync,users }
}

Mounting my usb device now fails in udisks-glue with:
"Failed to automount /dev/sdc1: Mount option users is not allowed"

Why is this option not allowed? If I do a manual mount with the same options it works without any problems at all.

Or is there any other workaround to solve this? I do not want to change my fstab, because as far as I know this just reflects to one partition - And sometime I connect an usb drive with several partitions, so all of them should be mounted. Anyways, at the moment I am running udisks-glue as root, which is not very good, but otherwise the mount would already failed because of a failed authorization. So if there would be a solution without root privileges at all I would be very glad.

Cheers,
sound

Re: mount readable for non-root user with udisks-glue

Isn't is 'user', not 'users'?

mount -o gid=users,dmask=007,fmask=117,iocharset=utf8,noauto,flush,user

Edit: Hmm, I've just checked and 'users' seems to work too. Sorry for the noise.

Try "user" indeed. "user" and "users" are slightly different.

If your USB drives are NTFS formatted, make sure you have ntfs-3g installed.

I also tried user before. Same result.

I can not possible image that it is in any way related to the file system (I used FAT32 and ext3 formatted devices), because as I mentioned above the manual mount works just fine.

Is console-kit set up properly?
