sed -i 's/\(| 1e\)/\1 |43|83/' /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount.sh
umount /home/user/MyDocs
sfdisk -c /dev/mmcblk0 1 43
mkfs.ext3 -m 0 -L "Nokia N900" /dev/mmcblk0p1
osso-mmc-mount.sh /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs
chown -R user:users /home/user/MyDocs

and

Code:

umount /media/mmc1
sfdisk -c /dev/mmcblk1 1 43
mkfs.ext3 -m 0 -L "SD card" /dev/mmcblk1p1
osso-mmc-mount.sh /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/mmc1
chown -R user:users /media/mmc1

There were no errors while doing that, even the automount works perfectly. But now when I connect the phone to my Ubuntu pc I don't have any permissions to the files inside. I tried to "sudo chmod -R (myusername)" the folders but it wasn't successful, I'm a noob with permission settings. Should I revert back to vfat or is there anything I can do?

Since your MyDocs files need to continue to be owned by user:users (which is 29999:29999 like they are now)... when mounted over USB you'll need to make sure you create/edit files/folders as this user.
