Only root can see iPhone files
Reported by Evan | January 25th, 2010 @ 06:16 PM
I updates libiphone today (via yum) and now when I mount the iPhone to /media/iPhone, root can apparently see everything in /media/iPhone, but my regular user (evan) cannot. In fact, ls -l shows just a bunch of ???? for all the permissions:
As root:
[root@ehoffman ~]# ifuse /media/iPhone/ [root@ehoffman ~]# ls
-Flrt /media/iPhone/ total 0

- State changed from “new” to “resolved”
- Tag set to “ifuse mount fuse”
The mount option -o allow_others which was added by default in prior versions was removed.
Mounting as root was never recommended.You should simply mount as regular user and everything should be fine. To unmount use "fusermount -u /media/iPhone".
If you still need to mount as root system wide, make sure to pass the fuse option -o allow_others to ifuse.
