I've seen this now on two different systems, so know it's a Ubuntu thing, and not a "shawn" thing...
Plugging an external USB drive enclosure into the box. Ubuntu detects the drive and asks what I want to do with it - so I open the folder. I can read the contents, but cannot modify/write to the drive. The mounted drive is a FAT32 drive. Fist impression says just change the ownership on the mount point. Except that even as root I'm being told I can't. So I look at doing a chmod on the mount directory and no joy there either (sometimes). So my question is, what am I missing? Is there a group I can add my user too to get permission to these drives? Is there a simpler way? I *know* I can make this work by going to the command line and doing a manual mount, or adjusting permissions/ownership, or tweaking the udev rules, etc. But the idea is that these drives should just be "plug and play", without having to fuss with em. Any tips are appreciated.
