I use debian 8 with kde-full package, everything is up-to-date. I have 4 usb flash drives: all of them are formatted in Windows OS. But only Sandisk "14.9 GiB Removable Media" is automounted correctly. Trascend and KINGSTON are automounted in read only. I cannot do much using Dolphin. So the problem is that these two drives are mounted with root as the owner.
What I have tried: * playing with udev rules https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/111685/usb-drive-permissions-when-automounting/124060#124060 https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/24731/automounting-usb-sticks-on-debian/186469#186469 -- no result * installing ntfs-3g, autofs, dosfstools packages * running command sudo chown -R root:disk /media/usb1 -- no success
I cannot believe that there is no way to make this working. If ntfs usb drive is mounting correctly, there is the way to mount fat drive in the similar way.
