I guess it's not happy about the mountpoint being in use, which seems fair enough. Let's try:sudo umount /media/julian/DEMETER sudo chown julian:julian /media/julian/DEMETER # if no errors about permissions, rebootIf something is holding open a file on that filesystem the umount will fail and so will the subsequent chown so watch out for that.The end goal is to simply change the owner of /media/julian/DEMETER to julian:julian.
julian@Cerce:~$ sudo umount /media/julian/DEMETER [sudo] password for julian: julian@Cerce:~$ sudo chown julian:julian /media/julian/DEMETER julian@Cerce:~$ *saved reply, rebooted* julian@Cerce:~$ cd /media/julian/DEMETER bash: cd: /media/julian/DEMETER: Permission denied It seems to allow permission mount the device but not to the actual files.
