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

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

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.

At this point, I think you should run fsck:

#29

Okay, let me try and get back to you.

Hope you will be available. If not please try to respond when you get time.

Thanks.

I noticed user #999 is shown as the owner of this partition.
I vaguely remember I saw it when I was installing MariaDB.
Do you have mySQL installed on this system by any chance?

#31

Hi guys,

I tried the link but didn't work out much.

So, I did format the partition and then changing the process of changing the ownership worked after that.

Thanks a lot for your time.

@Aravisian
Have you ever seen this owner before?

No, this was the first time.

And do you have any mySQL?

Yes, uuid 999 is the Live USB / Live CD Zorin...

I had not even noticed that in the O.P.'s screenshot. :expressionless:
I was paying all of my attention to the First Screenshot showing the disks and whether it was mounted.
Talk about a facepalm... No wonder the command did not work - If he was booted on the LiveUSB.

More often than not, clean installation solves much problems.

Thanks for this information.
I did not know that.

I think I noticed it just because I recently installed LAMP stack from command line only. This kind memory is way more persistent than GUI experience.
