This is the first time I've ever dabbled with multiple drives in Linux, and
I don't know what to do. Where should I mount it? If I mount it as a
subdirectory of my home, then it's mine. What if someone else wants to use
it? I thought about something like /var/storage, and I did that, but then I
had permission problems (because root mounted it, so root owned it). If I
tried to 777 it, it only went to 755. I couldn't chown or chgrp it either. I
thought reformatting the drive as vfat might solve the permission issues,
but it did not.

sudo chown joe /var/storage
operation not permitted.

sudo chown joe ~/hdb1
operation not permitted.

So what do I do? What filesystem should I use?

And yes, for future use, I'll throw an entry in fstab, I was just using
mount for now.
