  1. Remember as default formatting a drive as ext2/3/4 (or ReiserFS, with the warning that there is no way to undelete on this file system) the owner of the newly formatted filesystem there is root, so you need to change ownership of the folder as root to be user 1000 (the default login user, normally you) before you can use it. Formatting as FAT or NTFS does not do this, as these are non native Unix Linux file systems, they are mounted normally using FUSEFS, and many older distros could not read them, unless you added in a module to allow this, which was eventually included as part of the kernel by default. Also beware of compatability between different versions of EXT filesystem, older ones cannot read newer ones correctly, so you would need to use a compatible version, or format on the old system first, as the new one will read and write it correctly.
