That ist anoying because the user can not create objects in the root of the newly mounted media (removable disks etc). >How-To-Repeat: Allow non root users to mount filesystems (sysctl vfs.usermount=1). As an non root user create a directory in your home directory. Now mount a filesystem (e.g. CD-ROM or a removable disk) to that newly createt directory. That directory is now owned by root:wheel until you unmount the filesystem. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
