I use Ubuntu in a machine I own and in a machine I only have standard user permissions ( not admin). Is there any way to format a usb to ext4 and make it work (file ownership problems) if I cannot run sudo commands on the second machine? Ideally the solution would work on any other Ubuntu/Linux with whatever kind of account.

  • You can do that. See more here : http://askubuntu.com/questions/68809/how-to-format-a-usb-or-external-drive – OZON Dec 11 '13 at 11:02
  • Disks application will do that. – Avinash Raj Dec 12 '13 at 08:11
  • It seams I did not put the question clear enough. If I do a normal format then the pendrive user will be root, so I will not have permissions to read/write on it, not will I be able to change through sudo chown. And If I format it and I click on take ownership of the file system then only the user that formated has read/write access. What I want is for all users to have read/write access like with FAT or NTFS. – Garoe Dec 12 '13 at 14:40
  • @Garoe I would edit your question to clarify that. – Seth Dec 14 '13 at 03:21
