The usb storage is mounted to dir `/media/sd**' by a udev's mount.sh script, Modify the script to change the group owner of dir to `disk', and grant w/r/x permissions to it, so the one (such as xuser) in the disk group could access the storage. There are two solutions to do according to the type of USB's filesystem. 1, For vfat, fat, ntfs, add mount option `gid' and `umask'. 2, For others, invoke chgrp and chmod after mount.
