How can I change permissions on external drives right after formatting with GParted?

It is possible that you may have formatted the drive with root privileges.

If so see link below for some possible solutions.

    Using GParted, I have formatted an external HDD to ext4.

    As it turns out the default is that I have no write access.

      For what it's worth, this seems to be a problem with ext4 (no idea why). If you format it to fa32, for instance, gparted will give it normal user access.
