Thanks for the feedback thus far. OK, I used GParted to create an ext3 partition (/dev/sdc2) on this external drive (allowing me to slowly migrate). So:
*I logged in as a different user and switched USB drive on. *It mounts as /media/usbdisk. *The user had no permissions, so I 'chmod a+rwx /media/usbdisk'. *User can create folders, etc. *I copied a small music folder for testing. *Re-logged in as me. *I cannot alter this music folder (copy, cut, etc)! (I guess this a permission thing, that is, only creator can do this?!) *Went to http://localhost:9000/ in firefox - it finds and allocates this music folder. ... Excellent! *I, however, cannot copy stuff into the other-user-created 'Music' folder. Is it possible to be more flexible with the permissions allowing all users to read/write data to/from it? Perhaps this is a fstab thing? Also, I use several usbdisks on this machine (flash drives, etc) - is it possible to create a fstab entry that mounts this drive permanently as '/media/xyz', with these relaxed permissions?
