Adding WRITE ACL to /run/media/$USER

Open JP-Ellis opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

As the title suggests, I was wondering whether it would be worth adding the WRITE permission for the relevant user for /run/media/$USER.

The reason behind this is that I was creating a user systemd.automount for a remote filesystem and inside /run/media/$USER seemed like a natural spot for the mount point, but given the user does not have write access, systemd failed. The other option would be within $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, but given the UID can change, the result is a path which can change which seems incompatible with the way systemd mounts work.
