Comment 3 for bug 482501

I have the same problem. I have a 1TB external drive that contains most of my media: music, movies, documents, etc. Those are not private files, and indeed I want for them to be available across sessions. However, the drive permissions are 700 for the user that was entered when the installation happened. However, users added later are not able to access this drive.

I personally think the behaviour in Jaunty made more sense, and would like to have it back in Karmic.
