can't write to ext3 lvm partiton as normal user

As the subject says really, I've created an LVM partition, formatted it as ext3 and now I can't write to it unless I'm su.... I'm sure I'm doing something really simple wrong, but what?

here's the line from my fstab:

/dev/mapper/vg00-lvmdata /media/archive ext3 defaults 0 1

any clue?

I trust you already tried

chown -R $user /media/archive

when it's mounted?

ha.... I should have thought of that shouldn't I?

Will I need to do that every time I mount the drive, or is it persistent?

It will be persistent. But it always has to be done before you can access it because by default it will be root:root.
