Als root jedoch lassen sich die Karten lesen und schreiben.

I have exactly that problem with a USB memory stick (aka 'removable
drive'). Any pointers appreciated.

Permissisons for devices need to be changed accordingly i belive;

The raw device file looks like this:

zl2bsj@zl2bsj:~> ls -l  /dev | grep sda1
brwxrwxrwx    1 root     disk       8,   1 2002-09-10 08:24 sda1

The mount point:
zl2bsj@zl2bsj:~> ls -l /media | grep sda1
drwxrwxrwx    2 root     root          160 2003-11-19 20:59 sda1

The /etc/fstab entry doesn't exist. It is created by the USB hotplug
agent. When it loads, the USB hot-plug agent alters the permissions
on the mount point such that only root has write access to the device.

I have by-passed /etc/fstab by spelling out the 'mount' command (with the
'user' option)  and it made no difference: I *must* be root to be able to
write to the USB removable drive :-(

Anyway, I probably shouldn't bore the Reflector users with this, as
it is not a ham issue, but it is something that has bugged me for a
long time. Reading Klaus's query prompted me.
