I have an ext3 partition that I can't write to using a normal user. My
line from fstab look like this:

/dev/sda2               /media/storage          ext3    defaults,users  0 0

I did chown and chmod -R +rw, no effect.

This might be a basic linux thing, but until recently my only ext3
partition was the root one so I never encounter this problem, now I
decided to convert my whole harddrive into ext3, but I can write to it
only as root.

Thank you,
Claudiu.
