Hi! What if I'd like ordinary users to be able to mount /dev/fd0, for 
instance, onto a common dir located in /mnt (/mnt/floppy)? 
I made mkdir -m 755 /mnt/floppy as root. When I try to mount fd0 onto this dir 
as an ordinary user I get "msdos: /dev/fd0: Operation not permitted" while 
when doing the same onto a dir that this user owns everything goes fine.
