Hello,
I have a 250 GB ext usb drive for my laptop. When I plug it in it is recognized but normal user cannot write to it. The root user can, but not me as phil. How can I configure this for normal users to write the ext usb drive, please?
I don't know how it's done with an auto-mounter, but normally a 'uid' and 'gid' option in fstab would be the answer. Set these to your own uid and gid (e.g. rw,uid=phil,gid=users ) and the drive will be mounted so you can read and write. See mount(1) /mount\ options\ for\ ext3 Theo -- Theo v.
