Can't change ownership of mounted device
I have mounted a usb drive on my computer. I want to change the owner to myself so that I can have an easier time writing/reading and allowing other programs to do the same. However, when I run this code:
sudo chown <username>:<username> -R <Drive Name>
It returns this:
chown: changing ownership of '<Drive Name>': Operation not permitted
I read on This Forum that I should run sudo chattr -i file
However that returns this:
chattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags on <Device Name>
Where do I go from here?
permissions mount chown
