If the file entry in the '/etc/fstab' file (which lists devices to be mounted)
with the 'user' option, then ordinary  users can mount and unmount the device.
Otherwise, SU privileges are required. Of course you have to pursuade someone
with superuser privileges to edit the file.

Subject:  CCL:mount zip/cdrom on linux?

Dear CCLers:
   We set up a linux to run G98. Frequently we need to trasfer input and
output files to zip disks. Since only root user has privilege to
mount/unmount zip/cdrom, now the question is: Are there are any ways for
a general user to do so without login to the root account?
I asked the same question on a linux forum, but so far there are no answers.

   Thanks!
