Of course :-) (It is absolutely correct)
I could say.. just open up a terminal and change the permissions on the mount point then plug in the drive
:-) No, mount the drive then change the permissions of the mount point. However, as the /media/* mount points are temporary, you have two solutions: a) Mount to a fixed point in /mnt via fstab, and change the permissions of that path after mounting b) Mount automatically, but create a directory in it, and change its owner to be of the user you want to write there.
(but that only works around the problem for that one drive)... or manually mount the drive with a different mask...
Mount masks will not work. Remember, it is an ext4, *nix permissions apply. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
