Mount new hd?

[emerica]

I have a freshly formatted ext3 250GB drive name sdb1. I want to mount it with read write privileges and add it to fstab. I added it to fstab but I don't know how to give everyone full control of the drive.

fstab:

proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/sda1       /               ext3    errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/sda5       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hda        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/sdb1	/media/stuff	ext3	defaults	1	2

fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250058268160 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Thanks for all help in advance.

You have to give ownership of mount_point ( folder ) to a Regular User.
Execute id command and note down user_id and group_id of Regular User.
Let say, user_id and group_id are emerica and emerica.
Execute this

su -
umount /dev/sdb1
chown emerica:emerica /media/stuff
mount -a

My username is travis so I did:

su -
umount /dev/sdb1
chown travis:travis /media/stuff
mount -a

It still is not letting me add/edit files and folders. Thanks for your help so far DC. Does everything in my fstab look ok?

hi

you must give write permissions for regular user to the mount point

chmod 755 /media/stuff

maybe you need add yourself to disk group, and change permissions the device node file

as root
usermod -G disk travis
chmod 664 /dev/sdb1

I have permissions for the folder because when this drive was NTFS it was fine plus I made the dir with my user. My hd still won't let me write to it.

The folder is not the problem because when I go to the drive directly through the computer browser application, I still can't write to it. Is there anyway to reformat it and give myself access to it?

FIXED IT!

Logged in as root and just changed the permissions via gui.
