I don't think systemd uses the groups at all. Usb sticks are are in the disk group here too, and I have no trouble writing to them as a normal user. There's a (quite long) bug report about this here, but it seems to be for systems without systemd: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=751892 -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5
