Unable to interact with /dev/ devices

[JosSamLoh]

Describe the bug I am unable to interact with /dev/ devices, e.g. umount, dd, e.t.c.

Steps how to reproduce the behaviour

1. toolbox enter
2. Attempt to interact with /dev/ devices
3. Unable to do so

Expected behaviour

• umount to run without any errors.
• arm-image-installer --image=/var/home/user/Downloads/Fedora-IoT-37-20221118.0.aarch64.raw.xz --target=rpi4 --media=/dev/sdf --resizefs to run without any errors.

Actual behaviour

⬢[root@toolbox ~]$ umount /dev/sdf*
umount: /dev/sdf: not mounted.
umount: /run/media/user/2C1D-D57D: block devices are not permitted on filesystem.
umount: /run/media/user/fcf6151d-3b76-42c9-84fe-3ed16ff7e627: block devices are not permitted on filesystem.

Temporary fix: distrobox allows root permissions & access via the --root option when creating & entering a container.
