Thank you Dave for insightful instructions. So far I haven't notice any one mentioning pmount yet, which is what I believe the right tool to use without rolling up you sleeves and get your hands dirty. This is the note that I collected, Automounting http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/nix/disk/pen/pen03-Automounting/index.html All else notes on pmount http://xpt.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/search?P=pmount&DEFAULTOP=and&DB=default&FMT=query&xDB=default&xFILTERS=--A I haven't tried it yet, since I'm a command line guy, and the following command line has not bothered me yet: sudo mount -o umask=113,dmask=002,uid=tong,gid=tong /dev/disk/by-id/usb-PENTAX_OptioT10-part1 /mnt/camera See, no udev rules fiddling at all.
