> /dev/KingstonUSB /home/peter/MY ext2 defaults,noauto,user 0 0 This line is the reason. ext2 filesystem stores information about file/directory permissions inside itself, and root of this filesystem (/home/peter/MY) is owned by root (uid=0 user). user=peter mount option allow this ordinary user to unmount filesystem, but has nothing in common with filesystem permissions. No amount of tinkering with mount options or device permissions will change filesystem permissions, you'll need to use chown(1) and chmod(1) for this. vfat filesystem (you use it for /home/peter/mylo) does not support file/directory permissions, so mount option user=peter also allows said user to do anything with filesystem contents. In short, invoke (after mounting the filesystem): chown -R peter /home/peter/MY it'll solve you problem.
