An USB external Freecom 640Gb ntfs-drive with 2 partitions was and still is connected to the back of my PC since the installation of Mint v20.1 . What ever I change in Disks -> mounting options or fstab --- the ownership of partition 1 remains on root.
And adding its mount in fstab is very dependend on what you do in Disks-mounting options. Which, by the way, changes settings in fstab in sometimes an unpredictable way.
Partition 1 with owner root is slower and demands my password to umount.
Partition 2 with owner user is faster and asks nothing.
How to change the ownership of partition 1 into user too?
This is a copy of what happens in the terminal:
Code: Select all
intel@intel:~$ umount /dev/sdd2
intel@intel:~$ umount /dev/sdd1
umount: /media/intel/Freecom: umount failed: Operation not permitted.
intel@intel:~$
