Automount HFS+ with R+W
Hi,
I am trying to get Ubuntu 11.04 to automount my external HFS+ usb-drive with write access. I can do it via the terminal using
sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdc2 /media/usb
the problem is: mount only gives write permissions to the root user, meaning I have to do all file access through the terminal using sudo cp, mv etc. Aside from the headache this brings it also means that all files are owned by root and end up being locked when I copy them over to my Mac later. So... How do you get Ubuntu to automount HFS+ with write permissions when you plug in an external drive?
Secondly: This is one of those little things that is extremely annoying... Why doesn't this happen automatically already? What possible reason could there be aside from deliberately annoying the crap out of users? :)
