Issue of Ownership with the internal hard disk partition

General Help
#8

We are really cycling through the mount commands... I wonder if the drive was just not mounted in the first place... :expressionless:

mount -o rw /dev/sda3 /mnt

sudo chown raaghu:raaghu '/media/raaghu/dev/sda3'

I am really sorry for that :frowning_face:

Initially it was mounted. When I changed the permission everything started messing up.

I am totally a newbie to Linux. So, please bear with me :frowning_face:

I am also sorry; I am in the habit of using sudo -i so when I type a command for others, I sometimes forget to include sudo (bad habit):

sudo mount -o rw /dev/sda3 /mnt

I may give a lightning fast response, but I am a little slow :smiley:

#11

Hey not a prob :slight_smile: It is great that you are helping me out :relaxed:

Don't worry I am the slowest :stuck_out_tongue:

By the way, it looks like this step worked! Please check.

Looks good- can you test if you have full access on that drive?
If not, run the sudo chown raaghu:raaghu '/media/raaghu/dev/sda3' again...

#13

No access yet i guess.

Let's see lsblk again and see what that says...

Sure.

Well, it is referring to it as /mnt/a9d058e3-c98d-49ba-80b5-51a2fb3537b8, so let's try doing what it wants us to do...

sudo chown raaghu:raaghu '/mnt/a9d058e3-c98d-49ba-80b5-51a2fb3537b8/raaghu/dev/sda3'

#17

I didn't work I guess.

Am I too sleep dep for the helpdesk right now....

sudo chown raaghu:raaghu '/mnt/a9d058e3-c98d-49ba-80b5-51a2fb3537b8/dev/sda3'

#19

Please don't mind!

#20

Maybe I am too hung up on thinking of the /dev/sda3...

sudo chown raaghu:raaghu '/mnt/a9d058e3-c98d-49ba-80b5-51a2fb3537b'

#21

Same thing again :frowning:

This should be easy - I have solved this in one post a dozen times. I am stumped.

#23

Oh!! I normally I encounter special problems!

Is there a way out?

I am sure there is and that it will be easy.
I seem to be failing you right now.
What is the output of

sudo nano /etc/fstab

#25

Hey not a problem. You are helping me a lot. We will solve it together, buddy!

Well, I see where I went wrong in the /mnt/a9d.... that would try to mount the mount point, not the drive. That makes sense.
However, that /dev/sda3 is not responding is what has me stumped.

Are you able to see the files in your File Manager and access them? But just cannot write within?

#27

Yes, it was the case earlier. That is, before we started trying to solve. But now it is not the case. When I am trying to open Partition D, I get the following error.
