BUT THE DEVICE FILE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FILE SYSTEM IS NOT OWNED BY YOU. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Weatherston" <rdw@buffalo.edu> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Sunday, August 18, 2002 07:23 AM Subject: not able to mount devices as normal user? > I'm not able to mount devices (such as a CD-ROM drive) as a normal user > despite the fact that I own the mount point that I'm trying to mount to. > Ther error message I get is: mount_cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Operation not > permitted.
