I haven't had time to look into it myself but more I read about ext4 your tryst explaining me earlier becomes more clear that permissions persist with the filesystem. Now that I think more about it one possibility is that I use same username across systems which might have made it possible to mount with RW without superuser privileges. I also did following to the ext4 drive. chown $USER:$USER /run/media/$USER/storjet That is all I had to do and the drive seems to not give heartache anymore. Home user has all the privileges I need. Now time to run that attic-backup.
