Hi all, Got a small problem thats just driving me nuts. I have an MP3 player that appears as a memory stick - from dmesg: umass0: iRiver Limited. iRiver Internet Audio Player IFP-700, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <iriver MassStorage Disc > Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 1.000MB/s transfers da0: 500MB (1024001 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 500C) (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Synchronize cache failed, status == 0x10, scsi status == 0x0 (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Synchronize cache failed, status == 0x10, scsi status == 0x0 (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Synchronize cache failed, status == 0x10, scsi status == 0x0 The mount-point is owned by root:operator, and my user is a member of the operator group. I have vfs.usermount=1 in sysctl.conf. I have a devfs.rules file: [riff_usb=10] # Make USB drives readable to those in the "operator" group add path 'da*' mode 0660 group operator and it is referenced in rc.conf. But .. loop@riff ~ % mount /flash mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0: Operation not permitted loop@riff ~ % ls -la /dev/da0 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 0, 122 Feb 8 22:24 /dev/da0 Can anyone shed some light on what is happening here? Cheers, rob

I could be wrong on this... but I looked around a while ago for something to do the job of the Linux 'user' option, and found nothing. I kinda remember trying changing permissions too. If I'm wrong, I'd love to be corrected :-). - Michael

Can you make the mount as root? [If not, maybe you're using the wrong device; these kinds of gadgets are generally sliced. Or maybe the failing SCSI commands are a problem.] If you can make the mount as root, check the sysctl and user's groups from the command line to make sure that the settings are being done properly.

The mount point must be owned by the user.
Being in the group of the mount point is not sufficient.
