Comment (by KapiX):
USB stick filesystem = FAT32
hrev47169
Disks = Hard disks, but I need to elaborate further here.
The issue here seems to be that Tracker copies files preserving all of
their permissions.
If the file's owner is root (on BFS volume that's most of the files) if I
copy it, I can edit it without further modifications. On ext4 volumes
owner in my case is "1000", which means, if the file doesn't have write
permission set to others, I need to modify it in order to edit it.
What is happening with FAT32 USB stick is, I think, the driver just sets
the permissions depending on the mode user selected it to mount (since
FAT32 doesn't support them IIRC).
I would expect Tracker to change those permissions for me, because when
I'm copying files from read-only volume to a writeable one, I probably
want to edit them.
