Hi folks,

there is a little thing, I am not quite understanding:

I want to mount an usb-media (harddrive) with ext4-filesystem in plasma5.

When I physically connect it to an usb port, it can be automatically mounted 
and dolphin will 
open. This is working well.

But I am wondering of the rights settings. These are:

ls -la /media 
insgesamt 24 
drwxr-xr-x   5 root root 4096 23. Dez 2020  *.* 
drwxr-xr-x  21 root root 4096  3. Jul 14:47 *..* 
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    6  3. Jan 2016  *cdrom* -> *cdrom0* 
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root 4096  3. Jan 2016  *cdrom0* 
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   12 11. Jun 2011  .created_by_python-fstab 
-rw-r--r--   1 root root    0 13. Feb 2014  .hal-mtab 
drwx------   2 root root 4096 29. Dez 2012  *System-reserviert* 
drwxr-x---+  2 root root 4096 24. Jun 18:55 myusername

The device will be mounted under "/media/myusername/", but when I look. I see 
owner rot and 
group root. And only root is allowed to read and write into this folder.

This is looking weired for me, as I would have been expected, that ownership 
would be 
"myusername:myusername". 

I suppose, as this is a security feature, one can set this option somewhere, so 
that the user, who 
is mounting a device with ext4-filesystem can read and write it.

With fat32-filesystem this issue (f course), des not appear. 

Any hint, what I should check or where I can change this? Of course another 
option can be, to 
change the directory /media/myusername to ownership myusername.

Thanks for any feedback.

Best regards

Hans
