I've not done this in a while...and certainly not with having the drive
auto-mounted (habit, no other reason).

But, since my system is a single user system I've always just cd to
/media or /mnt and then just chown myuid:mygroup mntpoint after doing
the mkfs and after mounting it the first time.

Since my external drives were all ext3 they just come up as being owned
my me from that point on.
