Hello, I have a small problem with default permissions of Automounted Removable Devices. Whenever I mount it via KDE4.4's Auto-mounter. it sets all files to be owned by root. $ ls -la /media/Backup/ total 24 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 10 16:07 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Feb 10 17:30 .. drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Feb 10 16:07 lost+found I know KDE does not mount anything, it asks HAL. nothing is in /etc/fstab but in /etc/mtab and in /proc/mount I got $ cat /etc/mtab /dev/sdb1 /media/Backup ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal 0 0 $ cat /etc/proc /dev/sdb1 /media/Backup ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 This means I can't write/modify anything as a normal user. mounting manually every-time I need to transfer few files is annoying.HAL mounts drives by default only for root user. [1] hal 0.5.14-1 [2] qt 4.6.1-1 [3] kernel26 2.6.32.8-1 I was wondering how to change this behavior and so by default normal users could read-write into auto-mounted partitions.
