[LUAU] Mounting Drives and floppy access

[bbraun at sparcy.synack.net]

On linux this is fairly simple.  In /etc/fstab, there is a "user"
option.  This lets a normal user run the "mount" command for that
particular entry in fstab.  Usually you'll want to put nodev, nosuid,
and maybe noexec as well.  Just so they can't bring in a floppy and
have special privleges.  More info on this is in the fstab and mount
man pages.

For machines other than linux that don't have the "user" option, 
there is the mtools package that allows user access.
