4.23 Why does the console user "own" the external disk filesystem?

You need an entry in /etc/fstab so the disk will be mounted at boot time, rather than being "automounted" when somebody logs in. Automounted disks are owned by whoever logged in, fstab-mounted disks are owned by root. Something like this:

(assuming the external disk is to be mounted as /Disk)

fstab should be niloaded into the Netinfo database if it contains any NFS mounts.
