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.
