Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-volume-
it should be possible to mount external hard disk with filesystmes that have user id based permissions in a mode overwriting those.
i.e. if you use an external hard disk with ext3 or hfsplus on more than one computer,
where you happen to not have the same user id, i.e. two ubuntu boxes or one ubuntu and one mac os x box,
it is impossible to work with the external disk because one constantly needs root access to fix the permissions on ubuntu.
(os x offers a way to mount external hard disks in a mode ignoring file permissions)
for that matter it would be important to have an option to mout the disk width i.e. "uid=,gid= umask=007"
