Need to take ownership of a new drive formatted in ext4

[cptrohn]

But can't figure out what I am doing wrong?


I am using

chwon -R users:user /media/label

LOL I think I have this all screwed up.

Out put of..

df -hT

and

sudo blkid

Please?
Also, indicate which drive exactly you want to change permissions for.

Read the question - none of this is necessary if the OP is actually using a typo

My bad, It seems I need to have one more cup of coffee

You will need to use sudo for that chown command as it must be done with root permissions, and make sure you type chown this time, not chwon. Is the drive internal or external and do you mount it manually or in fstab?

I also think that 13.10 mounts removable drives in /media/username/mountpoint not just /media/mountpoint so you may need to amend the pathway in the command accordingly if it's a USB external drive.

try chown

Nah, the typo was here not in the terminal.

I'd do as ajgreeny says then

Thanks, got it kept playing around what I needed was

sudo chown -R /media/USER/partition

I forgot that /USER/ in the file path.


Working now, thanks for looking,

Great! Glad to be of help.
