i have a ntfs hard mounted on /mnt/HDD and i want to change the ownership of the files inside from root to amiroof. i tried

sudo chwon -R amiroof:amiroof /mnt/HDD

but that didnt worked and the result of ls -halg /mnt/HDD is still the same.

i have windows installed on that drive (with fast startup disabled) and that might be the cause.

amiroof

  • "ntfs" and "chmod". ntfs=windows. chmod=posix=linux You set permissions when mounting. Add writable to the mountpoint. – Rinzwind May 09 '23 at 20:14

  • Read man mount and do something like sudo mount -o remount,rw,uid=$(id u),gid=$(id -g) /dev/whatever /mnt/HDD. That will redo the mount, read/write, and "owned" by you. – waltinator May 09 '23 at 22:06
