  Under normal circumstances that would merely be an annoying
inconvenience, but since the filesystem is supposed to be automounted I
don't see how I should do that.  How do people normally do this?  A lot
of people use extensive partitioning and mount the partitions
automatically (from /etc/fstab).  Does everyone chmod the permissions
afterwards?  Is it unreasonable to want an extra filesystem automounted
owned by root:disk, so certain users can access it?  ("Certain users" in
this case merely means me, as this is for my home system, but I don't
want to have to be root all the time in order to access the partition.)

  TIA,
  Gertjan.
