Please kill the previous two attempts. :-( Hoping third time’s the charm:

A couple of Debian notes:
1) Only members of the plugdev group can use pmount.
# addgroup username plugdev
will make it work for those users you trust.
2) There’s also pmount-hal which makes it almost as nice as
GUI automounts of removable devices:
% pmount-hal /dev/sdb1
will read the volume label and create a mountpoint of that
name under /media, so you get a nice setup along the lines of
/media/mythumbdrive
Who could ask for anything more? :-)

Maybe these work with other distros, too?

If so I believe the options in there will override pmount.

I try to use pmount with Debian Wheezy but whenever i issue ‘pmount -w /dev/sdb’ it returns ‘mount: warning: /media/sdb seems to be mounted read-only.’ and i get a read-only /media/sdb as such.

Do you have any idea of why is this happening?
