I understand that the mtab file is 'created/updated' on-the-fly by the system. The listed entries in mtab above match the active, accessable devices. No cd-rom is shown, nor is the floppy, as neither have any inserted media.
From man fstab:
(iii) Normally, only the superuser can mount file systems. However,
when fstab contains the user option on a line, anybody can mount the
corresponding system.
Thus, given a line
/dev/cdrom /cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide
any user can mount the iso9660 file system found on his CDROM using the
command
mount /dev/cdrom
or
mount /cd
Inserting a floppy disk does not result in the media being mounted - I get no floppy disk icon in the Media tab of Konqueor.
Issuing the command mount /media/floppy0 results in:
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified
Issuing the command mount -t auto /dev/sdd /media/floppy0 results in:
mount: only root can do that
I can mount the drive, if I do so as root.
This behavior is contrary to what the manual about fstab says should be happening. The fstab entry for the floppy device is correct. It has the user option, so it should be mountable by any recognized user on the system.
Can anyone explain why is this happening, and what I need to do so a regular user is able to use the floppy drive? I just want to insert a diskette and have it mounted, in the same manner that the cd-rom does. This is how it is supposed to work, and that is all I'm asking for.
