Hi Paul,

You don't know the whole story.  I wanted to mount it
as root.  Then I wanted to test if I could write to
it as group=user (100).

I wanted to umount the drive as a user so I
didn't have to go back to root and then back to
user again for some more tests you are not seeing.

I was hoping there was a "-o " option to allow
that.  Google have failed me.
