[gentoo-user] USB permissions glitch

[Philip Webb]

Something keeps resetting the permission for  /mnt/usb  to  755 ,
which prevents me accessing a USB storage stick as user.
My user is in the USB group : 'usb:x:85:haldaemon,purslow';
in  /etc/fstab  I have : '/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb auto noauto,user,umask=000 0 0'
(I never use  > 1  USB device at a time, so this is ok).

Till last week, it worked as expected & there's been no change in Udev rules.
I've made a work-around by amending the Bash alias I use to mount it to
  alias musb='mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb ; chmod 777 /mnt/usb' ,
which does solve the problem, but is there a more conventional method ?
