    Why? Any distro I used so far had mount suid root, so the users don't
    need permissions on the device file and mount points, because mount
    runs as root. You only need permission to the mount point /after/
    mounting, which means you must have permissions to access the root
    directory (and what else you want to read) on the mounted file system.
    And of course a matching entry in your fstab, with the user or users
    option set.
