- First, change the perms on the unit to ugo+rwx, so at least every single account on the array of Linux systems can access and write to it.
- Second, change the default umask so that new files have the o+rw octect allowed (000)
This is only a workaround, as better integration would be much better, and instead of making these changes to the filesystem as such, have some sort of USB meta-mode for mkfs (to set the necessary perms on the filesystem, except for "lost+found") and for the distributions to be able to recognize volumes mounted on the USB-interface and mount them with a "permissive" umask... I've never been able to fully implement these and as such currently I end up using the default FAT as the format, but it sure would be much better to use superior filesystems than FAT (at the cost of "Windows portability", though)
