Every now and then I buy a flash drive and find that when I mount it it's owned by root and read only except by root. I can, of course, change that by using chown and chmod, but that only lasts until I unmount the drive. Generally, I need to reformat the drive to get it working properly. And, it's not just Fedora; my sister uses Xubuntu, and has the same issue. Does anybody know a way to keep this from happening, or to fix it without reformatting?
What filesystem is on it and how are you mounting it?
