Why can't i mount a USB pendrive with the short way nor normal user???

[Saltamontes]

Im trying to mount my USB pendrive but i can do it only as root and with the long way.

I can mount it using

#mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt/dti

and it does it

also i try

#mount /mnt/dti

but shown an error, i don't remember which

and as normal user ( console and xffm on xfce4 ) shows:

$mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt/dti
mount_msdos_ -o user: option not supported

$mount /mnt/dti
mount_msdos_ -o user: option not supported

I already added a line in fstab:
/dev/da0s1 /mnt/dti msdos rw,user,noauto 0 0

the folder /mnt/dti is owned by my normal user with all persissions.

Which could be my mistake???

Thanks to all

To mount usb drives as a normal user start at this section:

To make this device mountable as a normal user, certain steps have to be taken...

i followed the guide but don't works

-added an user with:
pw groupmod operator -M myuser

-added rule to /etc/devfs.conf (devfs.rules don't exists) :
[localrules=1]
add path 'da*' mode 0660 group operator
(also i try 'da0s1')

-enabled ruleset on /etc/rc.conf
devfs_system_ruleset="localrules"

-mount fs allowed to normal users on /etc/sysctl.conf
vfs.usermount=1

and created a directory named "myuser" on /mnt, owned by my user with all privileges

also i have a line on fstab:
/dev/da0s1 /mnt/myuser msdos rw, user,noauto 0 0
also i try
/dev/da0s1 /mnt/myuser msdosfs rw, user,noauto 0 0

but i tried:

mount /mnt/myuser and shows:
mount_nsdosfs: -o user: option not suported

and

mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt/myuser nad shows:
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Permission denied

what else shoud i try???
or i made a mistake???

Thanks to all

A couple things that don't look right to me...

-added an user with:
pw groupmod operator -M myuser

I don't think this is causing your problem, but I think you wanted 'groupadd' (not 'groupmod'). There should be at least two accounts in operator: root and your user.

-added rule to /etc/devfs.conf (devfs.rules don't exists)

So create it! You have to follow the directions, including putting instructions in the right file.

Give that a try and hopefully you'll be all set. Reboot when finished with the devfs changes. (Or you could restart devfs and add the sysctl MIB manually, but since it's a workstation it is easier to just reboot.)

Many days have passed since mi last experiment with FreeBSD, now i come back.

Thanks anomie, devfs.rules was the mistake.

After all, FreeBSD is not difficult, some uncommon in the beginning...

Now im running FreeBSD 7.0 AMD64 with XFCE, audio enabled (debian 4.0R3 with the last kernel dont enable it), MySQL running...(i have some problems with resolution)

and i have compiled some soft from ports (very easy compared with Linux)

Thanks again
