You created a reiserfs filesystem on partition /dev/sdc3, inside an encryption layer. Since reiserfs supports unix style file permissions, a normal user might just not have sufficient rights to write to the filesystem with the default permissions after formatting. Therefore, if you want the filesystem to be writable by all users and groups, you'll have to change permissions and/or ownership accordingly (creating subdirectories on the filesystem in question is not necessary to achieve this).
Many filesystems commonly used on flash drives (such as various incarnation of vfat) do not have support for file permission/ownership themselves. Linux overlays fake permissions on these filesystems, and (at least on most modern distributions) this is done in favor of regular users so that you have read and write permissions. -- Encrypted USB is owned by root https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113790 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-volume-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
