mounting USB drives

Postby gopher » Fri May 10, 2013 10:18 pm

Hey,

I've got a couple of USB drives that I regularly mount to my system using the command $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mount -U "UUID" /mountdirectory')
where UUID is the device's UUID and mountdirectory is the place I mount the drive to (usually /mnt). However, when I try and use a file manager to write to the disk, I get a permission denied message. Is there a way to modify my mount command to that I don't have to be superuser/root to write to it?

Depends on the file system. If it is vfat or ntfs you can apply mount options, if it is ext[234] you must set permissions on the mounted drive.
