Randall Hopper:
|notation. I put my ZIP UFSs on slice 1. Makes it real easy to write a
|safe, generic setuid "mountzip" script:
|
| mount -t msdos /dev/sd0s4 /zip || mount /dev/sd0s1 /zip
|
|"df /zip" tells you right off what FS type you've got in case you forget.
I have to correct myself. This is the incantation I started with, and
works fine if you're root. But I had to change it to:
mount_msdos /dev/sd0s4 /zip || mount /dev/sd0s1 /zip
because "mount -t msdos" seems to lose root when run in a setuid-root
script in the process of handing off to "mount_msdos". This seems to be a
bug. Anyway, running mount_msdos directly (as above) works in a
setuid-root shell script.
