On Debian, and hopefully Red Hat [1], there's a disk group that you can add
users to for stuff like this. Should let you mkfs, too.

[1] Red Hat does things a bit differently, reowning things and giving users
permissions if they log in on a console or local X server, etc. Debian just
has the groups.
