What if someone lends you a 1TB disk, for you to browse it in your favourite GUI or Shell Window to read some files from it? And you're to put a couple of files on it before you give it back? Hotplug scripts run as root to mount it, and you have your GUI / Shell Window which don't run as root to read and write a few of those files. You must not chown anything on the disk, because it isn't your disk. > But in that case, you're screwed anyway and it's going to become > un-manageable.
