A partition does not have rw permissions

  • 772

A partition in my system has no reading writing rights, it always needs sudo permission. How to make it regularly accessible without sudo?

This is the output of lsblk -fs -d -p -m -I 3,8,66,67,68 -

    The partition /dev/sda6 has the 'ext4` file system. This is a linux file system, and you can manage the ownership and permissions individually for each directory and file.

    I suggest that you do a basic configuaration:

    • Create a directory in the partition at the mountpoint /media/ubu... (use the complete path).

      sudo mkdir /media/ubu.../data

    • Set the desired owner of this directory, for example "$USER".

      sudo chown "$USER":"$USER" /media/ubu.../data

    • Maybe change the permissions of this directory, but the defaults might work for you, when you own it.

      chmod ...  /media/ubu.../data

    Now you should be able to read and write in this 'data' directory in your partition /dev/sda6.

    If there are still problems, please describe them, and I will try to help ...
