Hello.
When I turn on my Sony DSC-P31 USB camera, a new
line is added to /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
Very nice, but the system doesn't mount the camera.
Yes, because you have it configured not to: with 'noauto'.
nothing. So I need to do mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera for
getting
access to the camera (only as root).
So what is the point of the line in /etc/fstab ?
It sets defaults for the mount command, which you can override if you
want.
How can I get the system to mount the camera as non-root without
writing something everytime I plug it in ?
You can try changing 'noauto,owner' to 'auto,user'. Not sure what
happens if the camera is not connected.
