Thread: how to mount and umount a partition as user (not root) can it be done?

-

i have been working on problem trying automounting lvm'd partition. problem solved following instructions given in (absolute beginners) forum (which btw).

first setup mount point

1) "sudo mkdir /media/storage
have give full write permissions directory. command.
code:
2)sudo chmod 777 /media/storage
have edit /etc/fstab"

there suggestion format ntfs with:
3)" /dev/(something) /media/storage ntfs-3g ro,user,auto,fmask=0177,dmask=0077,uid=1000 0 0"

drive, , partition, partitioned ext3 , want ext3 now...


have fstab setup like:
***********************
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# use 'blkid -o value -s uuid' print universally unique identifier
# device; may used uuid= more robust way name
# devices works if disks added , removed. see fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/mapper/volumegroup1-root / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /boot on /dev/sda1 during installation
uuid=90615dd1-c985-46d6-a441-de6d6a058e90 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/mapper/volumegroup1-home /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/mapper/volumegroup1-swap none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/mapper/volumegroup1-data4 /media/storage ext3 defaults 0 0

**********************

tried "user,auto,fmask=0177,dmask=0077,uid=1000" , out rw couldn't work... these options yielded error message, failed mount drive , listed above works auto mount it, giving me read , write permission partition volumegroup1-data4 .

so....

close... automounting it, when plugin usb key, unlike usbkey, can't umount gui. auto mount done fstab , @ root level, necessitating "sudo umount /dev/mapper/volumegroup1 which lot remember , type each time want unmount partition.

how can unmount drive external usb drive? suppose script it, there must more elegant way... wanted have read/write permission in automounted drive , have it, usbkey... can write drive , delete drive...

thanks,
wyatt

hi, sorry, new , unsure lot of things, need clarification. haven't found information explains how , why things work, "do this, that" i following guide ( arduino-thermistor-temperature-sensor-tutorial ) connect thermistor arduino uno. here temperature sensor information: temp. sensor 2000r +-1% to92 part.no.:   kty81-210 name:   temp. sensor 2000r +-1% to92 description:   2.5mm, 1980...2020ohm, -55...+150°c and here sensor's data-sheet: sensor data-sheet i have connected same way in guide. works , values being serial printed. what don't understand: 1. thermistor's , resistor's ohm value should equal, correct? in case 2000 ohm? 2. thermistor has ptc, i'm guessing have invert math or use ntc thermistor instead correct values? (currently resistance goes temperature goes down) 3. understand code uses steinhart-hart math logic convert resistor value temperature value, need a, b , c coefficients of thermis...
