You didn't say what filing system you were using on that drive. If it's a foreign one, that doesn't have user IDs on it as used by Fedora, then I'd expect it to be mounted as you say. If it's a native one, then I'd expect it to be mounted with the usual user & group ownerships. For multiuser external drives, my usual approach was to make sub-directories in it that were owned by users on the system, or a shared sub-directory, but not to use the root of the drive. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
