Hello


Under Ubuntu 12.04:
On laptop 1, I am user oub (uid=1000) and in the sudo list.
I connect an USB drive (jfs file system), its get automatically
mounted with the correct uid.
I copy files with rsync from laptop 1 to the USB.

On laptop 2, I am user oub (uid=1002) and in the sudo list.
Now when I connect the USB (jfs file system) its get automatically
mounted however as uid=1000 which is another user.

So I either have change manually each time the uid and group
of the usb drive before copying.

This is very annoying. Is there any easy solution?


Thanks
