USB devices automounted with wrong permissions

When I plug in my usb hardrive (in KDE) the volumes are automounted in /media/volume-name with root as owner and group - which means I'm not able to access the volumes.

I'm using KDE 3.5.4-6, all my packages are up to date (hal/udev/dbus etc.).

How can I get the volumes to be automounted so that I can access them (also, some of the volumes are fat so I'd like them to mount as umask=000).

Re: USB devices automounted with wrong permissions

i've got the same problem after updating my system (pacman -Syu) two or three weeks ago.

i decided to wait for an update of hal and dbus at first. today they both got an update - the problem still exists.

before upgrading everything was fine. plugged in my usbstick/hdd and it was available in "media:/" for users

now it's available too, but owner is always root.

my user is added to the groups "storage, hal, dbus"
dbus and hal are running and working.

i don't know where to say kde to mount it as user or with umask=000

Can't confirm it- works fine here.
What's the filesystem on the pen/hard drive?

it's only ntfs now which doesn't work.

fat32, cdrom, dvd are working fine now (didn't test it all before)
