I am looking at trying to mount an external hard drive or SSD to handle the disk images
instead of the SD card. For some ^$%^$% reason you can't mount a disk as a user in
Linux (I might be missing something, admittedly) like you can in RSX and VMS (again, more
demonstration that UNIX sucks ;)) so I have to futz about as root to do that.
You can set that to be allowed with the "user" option, see "man
fstab". It defaults to not allowed, which is the correct security answer. (I
would assume the same is true in DEC operating systems that have protection mechanisms...
it certainly is in RSTS.)
