Tomas' answer contains *a* solution, for a specific device. There *is* a generic answer, which requires no fstab entry, but I have to admit that I haven't a clue what it is. I'm running sid with systemd, with absolutely nothing in /etc/fstab which refers to USB sticks, but nonetheless any USB stick inserted is recognised and automounted under /media/joe (maybe immediately and maybe on access, I'm not sure, but it shows instantly in file managers) with everything in a FAT partition having ownership of joe:me and permissions of 644. Ext partitions have their own permissions, as expected. This all Just Works, and I have no idea what configuration it depends on. "I didn't build this," sid basically builds and rebuilds itself, so I tend to keep my fingers out of the works. I do know that USB sticks were a real pain with usbmount, which *sometimes* mounted the entire device instead of the partitions, and at some point, things just started working better. There is nothing in /etc/polkit-1, /etc/udev or /etc/udisks2 referring to USB sticks, which are the most likely suspects as far as I can see. Presumably the culprit is systemd, as usual, so possibly someone more knowledgable about this beast can finish my part-answer. -- Joe
