The trouble is root can do it all. I'm not looking to add an entry to fstab unless neccessary. I tend to mount different devices to different directories. For instance, if only one device is plugged in it is /dev/sdb. So I may mount it to /mnt/camera or /mnt/usb. Now, what if I plug in a second USB device? Naturally it will be /dev/sdc so I'd mount it somewhere. Is there an "easy" (non-GUI) way to give permission for the user to write to those devices? I've tried to chown the folder to the username but once the device is mounted permissions are changed to root:root. Any other tips or tricks?
