I was not talking about mount points. As far as I understand the mount points are automatically generated from the device labels and mounted under /media/<label>/ for removable media. My issue was the top level directory on my removable drive was not writeable as the regular user. Follow Ed's tip of chowning the first time does the trick. On subsequent mounts on different systems the permissions are retained. Thanks every one who replied. My issue has been solved. :) -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
