Mounting drives
Fairly generic Linux question but does my non-root user have to belong to any specific groups to be able to mount the disk drive and usb drives?
Whenever I try to access one as my non-root user I get a "Not Authorized" message box (in GNOME).

Re: Mounting drives
I don't know how is it done in Gnome, but you can use pmount to mount drives as a user.

Re: Mounting drives
See the beginners guide on the wiki: you need to be a member of the storage group.

Re: Mounting drives
I am a member of the storage group. I'll try the pmount method.

Re: Mounting drives
Install sudo and visudo to add your users/groups to use mount.
sudo mount /dev/sdxy /mount/point
