How to mount EXT4 permanently with read/write support.

[sikander3786]

Hi.

I have created 700 GB ext4 logical partition on my HDD. It is named sda7. Now I don't have read/write permissions, only root has those permissions.

How to change read/write permissions and how to mount it permanently?

Regards.

First thing i would do is open a terminal, and type
blkid

find the drive and copy the UUID
then open up /etc/fstab with sudo permission and add a line similar to

UUID=<uuid> /place/to/mount ext4 defaults 0 2

that will get it to mount at the mount point (if that place exists) during boot
then a simple

sudo chown <username>:<username> /place/to/mount

should give you the permissions you need to read and write to it
at least thats what i always do, probably better ways to get it done, but its what i know

Thanks Nythain.

It worked like a charm.

also in my /media/ file there is a folder in there named after the UUID I'm trying to mount and when I click on it I get

"You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "712848ed-766a-4762-bf81-cda65954b115".
