[SWLUG] MP3 player read only mounting

[P.G. Richardson]

What is the group permissions for the device node (/dev/sda)?

Tends to be "devices" or similar so add yourself to that group. If not and
it is in fact root then you may need to look at udev config permissions in
/etc/udev directory.

sake of those who refuse to be instructed, whose spirit cannot be subdued,
or softened, or hindered from plunging into evil. [The Laws, Plato]
