OK.  This has been getting on my nerves for a long time now.  Most of
the distros mount a usb disk or mp3 player as read-only.  If I try to
create or delete files on the device, they disappear if I unplug the
device and then plug it back in.

I've tried unmounting the volumes and then mounting them again.  I've
also tried using chown command,

chown phil /media/disk

Sometimes I had some success, but it's hard to remember which steps I
took.  Usually, I just end up going into knoppix because it allows you
to change the read/write permissions of the device pretty easily.  But
this is *really* annoying :(
