I did some research on the subject and everything I found about ext4 in 
userspace said don't do it with data you care about.  I finally looked 
up options for fstab and found that changing user to users fixed the 
problem.  I backed up a drive today. When I finished, and unmounted the 
backup drive, It didn't bug me for a password.
