[OBORONA-SPAM] Re: USB device permissions

[Gabriel Dragffy]

The filesystem is vfat or rather fat32. I'm sure it's to do with permissions 
as if I do a root login everything works swimmingly. Mounting the device is 
not a problem, the automagical mount works like a charm.

Are you saying I should add
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]*", MODE="0640", GROUP="plugedev"
?
If this is correct I will add it to the file and see what happens,
cheers.
