Ok, where were we?I can explain in depth how the systemd mount generator works later but first things first, let's see if we can actually fix the problem.Normally I'd be pretty allergic to using such a blunt tool but I think in this case, it's actually the right tool for the job. So make sure the share is mounted first, probably by doing "sudo ls /media/julian/DEMETER" and checking it's present and correct. Then hammer it with:sudo chown -R julian:julian /media/julian/DEMETERThat does exactly what you think it does, recursively. *If* you know you have some delicate nested files somewhere on that share where archived permissions are of critical value for whatever reason, do NOT run that command. It really will just recursively brute force change ownership on everything, no questions asked. Which as it happens, is exactly what you actually want.This might take a while to run depending on how the NAS reacts to it. Shouldn't need a restart or anything although reloading the NFS client service might not be a bad idea. If in doubt reboot the NAS and the PC just to be completely sure of a fresh service start at both ends and see if normal operation is finally restored...
Assuming this works, if I were to mount the other two shares HESTIA and PERSEPHONE would 'sudo chown -R julian:julian /media/julian/' do every share at the same time? Logic suggests it would. Incidentally I do have all the files backed up on an external drive from before it all went pear shaped - would it be worth checking ownership of the backed up files?
