Make a filesystem accessible by all users

Question

I have mounted a filesystem in a /mnt/storage but how do i make it accessible for all users not only root?

Answer 1

If you mount the drive with the -o noacl option, everybody will have full read/write access.
If you only want people to be able to read the drive, chmod a+r /mnt/storage

Answer 2

You can specify the uid & gid options to identify the mounted volume's owner. In /etc/fstab you can use something like:

/dev/sdc1  /mnt/storage  ext4 uid=1000,gid=1000 1 2

or interactively:

sudo mount -o uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/storage
