Description:
The pmount program requires the /var/lock/ directory to be writable in order to mount a device. This directory does not exist in a normal Arch install and is not created when the package is installed. The following error is given when trying pmount without the required directory: lock_dir(): creat: No such file or directory Error: could not lock the mount directory. Another pmount is probably running for this mount point. Additional info: * See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=16841 for some additional background. * The directory is not created by running pmount as root. |
