Package: usbmount
Version: 0.0.22
Severity: important
All my hotplugged usb devices are owned by root and only
writable by the superuser. This can't possibly be the way this is
supposed to work. A user needs to be able to plug-in a usb stick and
have write access to this stick without having root access.
As far as I can see this is not a dup of #544900 since in that thread
it states that the device is owned by root, but the user still could
create directories on the device, whereas I cannot (see below):
josh@howlingfantods:/media$ df | grep usb
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdg1 3895924 2436220 1459704 63% /media/usb0
/dev/sdg1 3895924 2436220 1459704 63% /media/usb1
(why is this double mounted?)
josh@howlingfantods:/media$ l /media/usb*

.
.
josh@howlingfantods:/media$ mkdir usb0/blah
mkdir: cannot create directory `usb0/blah': Permission denied
I'm in the plugdev group in case that's relevant:
josh@howlingfantods:/media$ grep josh /etc/group
.

cdrom:x:24:josh
floppy:x:25:josh

plugdev:x:46:josh
all in all very bothersome...
cheers,
