I have been knocking my head against a wall for the
past hour. I am trying to plug in a USB external drive and have
Ubuntu 14.04 mount the drive so I can write data to it. But the
drive is always mounted with root as the owner and group. I have
read countless pages about how to enable a user to read/write to
the drive but to no avail. The drive is automatically mounted in
/media/mark/dive1. I have not created a permanent mount point in
/etc/fstab because the drive is, well, removable, so it will not
always be connected to the usb port.
There has to be a simple fix to this problem.
Thanks!
Mark
