There ' s a lot of surplus ammo over there and it ' s a powerful round . <| sep |> If the filesystem supports it pretty much most should , you can assign ownership to any user in the etcfstab file using the fourth field fsmntops . I use the uid option but you can also specify the username using user . Note that user is different from the generic user option which allows users to mount the volume . You appear to not be using fstab but you should consider doing so , since it saves you the step of running the command instead mounting this image automatically on boot . One example of a manpage that describes the use of these options is mount . cifs so type man mount . cifs but others are probably similar . <| sep |> I was actually a bicyclist at the rack next to the motorcycles , but okay
