Another way that works for me is lines like: UUID=2017-0401 /media/esxplore4g vfat rw,errors=remount-ro,utf8,shortname=lower,user,noauto,fmask=137,dmask=027 With this, whoever mounts it owns it and gets rw-r----- (files) and drwxr-x--- (directories). All our sticks/cards etc have individual mount points, and mount by UUID (fat) or LABEL (ext/fat). The mount points are all created drwx------ root root with identical timestamps, so any with devices mounted on them can easily be spotted. Cheers, David.
