F14 at least will take an ext4 formatted disk and automount it to /media/$LABEL where the label is set with e2label. Likewise with any filesystem F14 supports, using the filesystem-appropriate label utility. As to ownership, you have to set that after it's mounted with the normal filesystem tools. Example: [root@localhost ~]# mount [snip] /dev/sdb1 on /media/wd500gbu3-bak type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev) [root@localhost ~]# e2label /dev/sdb1 wd500gbu3-bak [root@localhost ~]#dmesg [snip] [ 27.017416] usb 6-1: new SuperSpeed USB device using xhci_hcd and address 2 [ 27.029856] xhci_hcd 0000:0d:00.0: WARN: short transfer on control ep [ 27.030227] xhci_hcd 0000:0d:00.0: WARN: short transfer on control ep [ 27.030609] xhci_hcd 0000:0d:00.0: WARN: short transfer on control ep [ 27.031094] xhci_hcd 0000:0d:00.0: WARN: short transfer on control ep [ 27.031281] usb 6-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1058, idProduct=0730 [ 27.031290] usb 6-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 27.031297] usb 6-1: Product: My Passport 0730 [ 27.031301] usb 6-1: Manufacturer: Western Digital [ 27.031306] usb 6-1: SerialNumber: YOUDIDNTTHINKIDLEAVETHISHEREDIDYOU [ 27.121613] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
