Really simple problem, I have run the following commands:

sudo mkdir /media/usb
sudo chown -R pi:pi /media/usb
show chmod -R 775 /media/usb

Checked everything and made sure that pi owned the directory, and then ran:

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb -o uid=pi,gid=pi

The drive is ext4 and if I sudo it works (I can write to it) but I cannot seem to get it to work so pi can write without, because when I run the above the command it will reset all permissions to root.

I also cannot seem to get it to auto mount as pi.

I have eve install ntfs-3g incase that made any effect, but every time only root can write.

Here is the output of mounting:

pi@raspberrypi:/media $ sudo umount usb
