Hello,
As you probably can see by my question, I'm not that fluent with my linux yet.
I wanted to move a downloaded file but discovered all my drives in /media are owned by root.
So I have to use sudo just to copy a file?
I tried to use chown, and tried using krusader in root mode to change owner to 'jean', no effect, it's still listed as root.
Is this normal? (I guess it is, but strange...)
I've read I can change it by modifying fstab like so:
But I'd like an opinion as to why this is not standard.
It seems strange that one must use sudo to simply copy files around.
Thanks!

defaults,umask=007,uid=userename,gid=username
