John, I can create new dirs on it, I assume I can create files as well. I'm assuming it should be read/write/delete... I've been looking to see exactly how centos/fedora assigns privs/perms when doing auto mount for external/usb hard drives. In the nutilus gui for the computer/drive, there is a item for properties that has permissions.. I did set all of the sections that I saw to read/write/delete in the event this was a perm issue.
