+IIAB will generally mount USB drives 'rw' allowing root to both read and write to them.  In addition, in March 2021 (`PR #2715 <https://github.com/iiab/iiab/issues/2715>`_) Kolibri exports were enabled by also giving non-root users read and write access to VFAT/FAT32, NTFS and exFAT USB drives, using ``umask=0000`` (in /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf) to override the ``umask=0022`` default.  If however you prefer to restore usbmount's default, set ``usb_lib_umask0000_for_kolibri: False`` in `/etc/iiab/local_vars.yml <http://FAQ.IIAB.IO/#What_is_local_vars.yml_and_how_do_I_customize_it.3F>`_ prior to installing IIAB.
