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. What gives? Also, is there a mount option that will allow users to mount devices on the same mount point. Here's what I mean: If I have /cdrom as a mont point defined in fstab for my cd drive how can I allow all users (not just root) use this mount point. I'm not worried about security too much as I'm the only one who uses my machine and I don't have an always-on internet connection. I know in Linux you can specify the "user" mount option but looking through the man pages for both fstab and mount I could not find anything like this. If someone could shed a little light on this for a relatively inexperienced FreeBSD user I'd really appreciate it.
