I have hdd that has been mounted to a new folder Backup that I created in /media

/dev/sda1 15T 28K 14T 1% /media/Backup

But I am not able to create any folder and the permission is as follows enter image description here

I tried to give full access by root terminal

root@workstation1:~# sudo chmod -R -v 777 /media/Backup/
mode of '/media/Backup/' retained as 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)
mode of '/media/Backup/lost+found' changed from 0700 (rwx------) to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)

and

sudo chmod 777 /mnt/hdd

I can create the folder, but it seems I do not have full permission to this HDD, and after restarting the system, again I cannot create any folder.

I have two drives mounted to folder /mnt: /mnt/hdd, and /mnt/ssd;The /media/Backup is the mount for /mnt/hdd.

How can I resolve this issue by giving full access to this hdd drive?

    First, don't use `/media`, you and the automounter will confuse each other. If it's for systemwide use, `sudo mkdir -p /mnt/mydisk`, if it's just for your use, `mkdir -p $HOME/mnt/mydisk`. Read `man fstab sudoedit`, you can mount the disk with the UID:GID you desire. – waltinator Aug 31 '23 at 04:54
  • What file system is there in the partition on the disk? If a Linux file system, you can use `chmod` to set the permissions and `chown` to set the ownership. If a Microsoft file system (NTFS, FAT32, exFAT), you set the permissions when mounting it (with mount options) according to [this link](https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition/956072#956072). – sudodus Aug 31 '23 at 06:42
