Setting ext hdds to “Ignore Permission” permanently for easier editing workflow
In OSX Mavericks, it looks like all the external hdds are set to the same internal permission. This is very troublesome when editing between Macs with different user accounts. Is there a way to permanently set it to “Ignore ownership” just like the older OSX 10.6 to 10.7? Now I constantly have to adjust the permission whenever I plug in the external hdd.

Sam, what kind of drive is it (how’s in connected)?
I use a couple of shared USB-3 and Thunderbolt drives with the permissions set to “Ignore ownership on this volume” and it is the same when I mount them on my New Mac Pro, rMBP, and my older 4,1.

The ext USB3 hdd is your typical WD Passport 2 Tb. And it did retain the permission settings as I just find out.
I’m looking into the Vantec FW800 dock bays w/ the 4 Tb hdds. Not sure if these are the ones that will not preserve the permission setting. Didn’t pay close attention to the type of external drive being plugged in.

I believe that you’ll be fine with the other drives as well. The only time that I’ve seem permissions changing on my external drives is when OS X somehow got the idea that the drives were network volumes instead of local.
