I am finding that (with FC4) when I plug in my USB mass storeage device,
it's mounted automatically and an icon appears on the desktop (using
Gnome). I presume that this is g-v-m doing it's magic and automounting.
However, it's being mounted read only, and is being shown as belonging
to root. How do I change this so that it is read-write automatically?
What's the filesystem on the USB device?
With vfat I had the experience, that i cannot write directly to the
toplevel of the filesystem as user, eg. /media/usbdisk but can create a
subfolder and that's rwx.
With ext3 you create a group which is allowed to write on that device on
toplevel, and it works. Just checked it now with an external usb-drive
with ext3.
I don't know if I can do that with vfat as well, but till now I have not
found a solution.
