What? Are you talking removable drives? Because there is no distro I'm aware of, that automatically mounts a newly installed disk.
Also usually systems don't grant write privileges for EXT4 or other security featured formats. But only for FAT32 and ExFAT and other "lesser" formats.
So often you have to switch to root, and grant those privileges to your user account.
