How to make an ext4 formatted USB drive?
We need to set a default ACL on the root directory of the USB stick filesystem that assigns full access to everyone on any new file or directory. And to ensure that the stick will be mounted with ACL support enabled, we need to use tune2fs to adjust the default mount options stored in the filesystem metadata.
Can You Copy and paste files to the ext4 partition?
Now you can copy-paste and create new files in the ext4 partition without any hindrance. And with added security, non-admin users will not be able to do so. This tutorial is similar to what you need to do in order to auto mount Windows partition in Ubuntu. Any questions or suggestions are always welcomed.
Can you use an ext4 drive with NTFS?

How do I change write permission on the ext4 partition?
You can also see that only root has write on the mounted ext4 partition. You need to change the write permission for this partition here. Now the easiest option is to give the write access to everyone using the infamous chmod 777. But again, you won’t want to do that as it will give write access to anyone.
How does the ext4 file system work in Ubuntu?
Like any unix-style filesystem, ext4 includes standard Unix file ownership and permission conventions. That is, the user is identified by an UID number, and each user will belong to one or more groups, each group identified by its GID number. Each file has an owner UID and one group owner GID.
What are the permissions for an ext4 file?
Like any unix-style filesystem, ext4 includes standard Unix file ownership and permission conventions. That is, the user is identified by an UID number, and each user will belong to one or more groups, each group identified by its GID number. Each file has an owner UID and one group owner GID. The three classic Unix file permission sets are:
