Hello, Thanks for your response. By jump drive I simply mean a USB flash drive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive). Mine is using fat32. The external USB disk has two partitions: one is using HFS+ (with journaling disabled) and the other one is using ext4. Here's the output of 'ls -lh' executed in my /media directory: adriano@vaio:/media$ ls -lh total 24K drwx------ 4 adriano adriano 16K Dec 31 1969 B192-20DE lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Aug 2 2009 cdrom -> cdrom0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Aug 2 2009 cdrom0 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Apr 6 20:34 Linux drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Apr 6 20:47 MacOSX The flash drive is mounted on /media/B192-20DE, the HFS+ partition of the external USB disk is monted on /media/MacOSX, and the ext4 partition on /media/Linux. Notice how /media/B192-20DE is owned by adriano (which is me) whereas the partitions on the external USB drive are owned by root. Here's the output of mount (only the relevant parts): /dev/sdc1 on /media/B192-20DE type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=cp437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks) /dev/sdb1 on /media/MacOSX type hfsplus (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,umask=22,uid=0,gid=0,nls=utf8,uhelper=udisks) /dev/sdb5 on /media/Linux type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered,uhelper=udisks) I tried adding an entry to /etc/fstab for the HFS+ partition and explicitly setting uid=adriano, gid=adriano, but it is still mounted as owned by root.
