When i mount a drive such as /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1, only root can write and the umask option doesn't change anything...

I would like defaut user to be able to write on usb drive ... any suggestions ?

If you use the enhanced desktop and then the mount.app tool it is mounted correctly. If you want to use the CLI then you should use mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 -o uid=1001 That will give ownership to user 1001 i.e., user damnsmall

$ mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash -o users,exec,rw

should do the job.
