Changing ownership of mounted DVD drive
I have finally learned how to mount a DVD drive in Linux Mint but I must be doing it wrong. So now I have it mounted using "sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /media/dvd". But I have no permissions for the dvd folder. When I try to change permissions, I get the error "Operation not permitted". When I unmount the DVD, the ownership changes to tommy. But when I mount the DVD again, the owner reverts back to root. I'm not doing this correctly but I can't figure out what I need to do. The picture should give the information that you need. Please show me my errors.

Re: Changing ownership of mounted DVD drive
Try this:
Or go the easier way and mount the dvd via the graphical tool Disks; this gives you automatically the ownership.
Code: Select all
cd /media
sudo chown tommy:tommy dvdRe: Changing ownership of mounted DVD drive
The cd /media gave the "Operation not permitted" error.
If I can do it graphically, that's exactly what I would like to do. Just now I launched Disks and took a few minutes to look at it (for the first time ever). It does not seem to be too intuitive but I'll need a little time to study it. Right now I have to log off for a while. Any other instructions about the Disk app, please tell me.
