usbd.conf:
device "Flash Drive"
devname "umass0"
vendor 0x0ea0
product 0x2168
release 0x0200
attach "/sbin/mount /flash_drive"
fstab:
/dev/da0s1 /flash_drive msdos rw,-m775,noauto 0 0
mounted permisions:
d--------- 1 root wheel 22016 Dec 31 1979 flash_drive
cd to /flash_drive as non-root user:
flash_drive: Permission denied.
FWIW:
vfs.usermount: 1
(Mounting is no problem, usbd does that for me. It's _how_ it's mounted
that is the problem)
As a side note, the device has a little slider that is supposed to lock
the drive from being written to. Does FreeBSD honour this? Is this a
software or hardware lock?
I'm pretty sure in the above case it is in the unlock position.
