mount foreign usb storage

The aim is to mount any usb storage (say, not mine one) with write rights for normal user. So, use cases with fstab and udev automounting are not acceptable.

OK, I have found this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … ge_Devices wiki page and have tried to follow. In particular, I have:

~ $ sudo blkid -o list -c /dev/null | grep sdc1
/dev/sdc1 ext4  (not mounted) 15bfa2da-6214-4228-851e-c1207b74fc34
~ $ sudo mount -o gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=002 /dev/sdc1 /media
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

dmesg shows "Unrecognized mount option" for all these three options (I have tried to remove them one by one). Apparently, ext4 just hasn't these options. But - how to mount?

"I exist" is the best myth I know..
