[SOLVED]my ssd is mounted but i cant create new folder in it and saying i don have permission to it

[blazing relic]

my distro is archlinux

[fading garden]

Where is the mount point?

[blazing relic]

i dont know how to check that

[fading garden]

Please post the output of
lsblk -f

[blazing relic]

/run/media/user/f53d4fb5-b83b-4a04-8bf1-c90755c13159

[fading garden]

Can you confirm that this is the mount point for the SSD in question?

[blazing relic]

yep that is the one

[fading garden]

What is the full output of

stat /run/media/user/f53d4fb5-b83b-4a04-8bf1-c90755c13159

[blazing relic]

[regal ibex]

also let's see that mount option

[fading garden]

chown user:user /run/media/user/f53d4fb5-b83b-4a04-8bf1-c90755c13159

The root directory of the SSD's file system is owned by root, which you can't write to as an unprivileged user.

[blazing relic]

yep it is saying cannot access i switch to root and try that again

[fading garden]

This command must be run as root, e.g. with su, sudo or doas.

[blazing relic]

No such file or directory

[fading garden]

Could you please post the FULL output of

lsblk -f

[blazing relic]

da
└─sda1 ext4 1.0 f53d4fb5-b83b-4a04-8bf1-c90755c13159 434.1G 0% /run/media/user/f53d4fb5-b83b-4a04-8bf1-c90755c13159

[fading garden]

Would you be so kind as to format this output correctly with a markdown code block?

[blazing relic]

how do i do that....

gparted is the only tool i have to manage disk

Since the previous stat command gave an error-free output, I assume you made a typo, so please try the chown command again.

sudo chown user:user /run/media/user/f53d4fb5-b83b-4a04-8bf1-c90755c13159

[blazing relic]

chown: cannot access '/run/media/user/f53d4fb5-b83b-4a04-8bf1-c90755c13159': No such file or directory

[regal ibex]

okay, give output of findmnt /run/media/user/f53d4fb5-b83b-4a04-8bf1-c90755c13159

[blazing relic]

/run/media/user/f53d4fb5-b83b-4a04-8bf1-c90755c13159 /dev/sda1 ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,errors=remount-ro

[fading garden]

According to the previous stat command, the inode number of /run/media/user/f53d4fb5-b83b-4a04-8bf1-c90755c13159 is 2, which means that this path is the root of a filesystem.

[blazing relic]

i recently used that disk for KVM but i deleted my vm

[regal ibex]

this is with sudo?

[blazing relic]

nope

findmnt only

[regal ibex]

oh sorry, wrong reply, i mean did you run chown with sudo?

[blazing relic]

okk

[fading garden]

I insist you try this command again, and if it gives an error, please post a screenshot of your terminal

sudo chown $USER:$USER /run/media/user/f53d4fb5-b83b-4a04-8bf1-c90755c13159

[blazing relic]

wait

[blazing relic]

oh okay

[blazing relic]

this time

its not showing anything

just after entering it moved to new line

[regal ibex]

that means the command is successfull

[fading garden]

This means that the command has been executed successfully.

[blazing relic]

i can create now

thanksssss

[fading garden]

... solved
