This is the mount command format that I use # mount -o uid=500,gid=100 /dev/hdc1 /mnt/hdc1 Setting the UID & GID flags in the above command makes the user 500 (me) the owner of all files and folders on the partition. Alternatively you can set umask=000 instead of uid or gid, this will give rwxrwxrwx permission to all files & folders on the disk. I don't use this as my roomies can then delete files on this partition (they are not supposed to) from their login.
