No need to do that everytime. There are 2 solutions to fix this problem 1) If you are mounting via fstab, then add uid=<user id of rohit> to the options column 2) If you are using HAL, then you will need to modify /etc/udev/rules.d/XX-hal.rules, where XX is some number. This article should give some idea on how to do that http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/nethub/article.php/3635686 . Don't forget to check the URL's below. I beleive nautilus does have features to allow one to pass such options to removable media. Check it in the removable media properties. Unfortunately, I don't have buntu, gnome or removable media to check that. -- Who is D.B.
