 This may seem like a stupid question, but with most Linux stuff, it seems to me that a lot of trivial things are not documented.   Anyway, I want to simply mount an ext4 file-system onto a normal mount point in Ubuntu (/media/whereever), as read-writable for the current logged-in user, i.e. me.   I don't want to add anything into /etc/fstab, I just want to do it now, manually.  I need super-user privileges to mount a device, but then only root can read-write that mount.  I've tried various of the mount options, added it into fstab, but with no luck.      
 
         
             
                 linux permissions mount
