USB mounting automatically : users option?

[Alan E. Davis]

Thank you.

Is it possible to ensure that the files on the device will be readable and
writable by the user who mounted the USB drive?

I have done the following, and it may be working:

  1. mkdir /media/BLUE
  2. labelled the USB drive "BLUE"
  3. chmod 777 /media/BLUE
  4. in fstab:
        ####USB BLUE
        LABEL=BLUE /media/BLUE ext2 defaults,users,rw,auto 0 0

So far so good.  I am not sure this is doing what I want, however, as I
still see the owner of some files as "1000".

Thank you again,

Alan
