Unlike ext4, the FAT filesystem does not support Unix file permissions so
accessing the fs via userspace is more restricted than FAT. However, I would
expect a different error, like "wrong filesystem type ...".
What do you get in your logs when your run:
~ $ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdXx
where Xx are the device and partition numbers?
I get this :
My external usb disk is labelled SAUVEGARDE.
$ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdf1
Mounted /dev/sdf1 at /run/media/jacques/SAUVEGARDE

Is it possible the owner/access rights of the ext4 fs has changed between the
time when it worked and now?
Well, i really don't know...
