Ikkes Volume Manager

with the following config:
1. ivman started at boot,
2. <ivm:Option name="checkOnInit" value="true" /> in
IvmConfigActions.xml
3. <ivm:Option name="user" value="octopus" /> in
IvmConfigBase.xml

a USB stick already present at system boot gets
mounted, but an ls -l /media/ reveals
# ls -l /media/
total 18
drwxrwx--- 3 root root 16384 Jan 1 1970 sda1
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Sep 8 2005 sr0
hence, mounted as root, not as user octopus as specified

removing the stick, then reinserting it, gives:
# ls -l /media/
total 18
drwxrwx--- 3 octopus plugdev 16384 Jan 1 1970 sda1
dr-xr-xr-x 1 octopus plugdev 2048 Sep 8 2005 sr0
as expected
