Granting Permissions on external SSD
by missbfbarley from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5K9Y1)
Hi, im newbie, LUKS Encrypted Ext4 Host = Linux machine x64 86 mintOS with 2 users (both me) user1 = sudo and user2 = standard permissions.
and i have a T7 Samsung external SSD which i use as my all files/folders drive as i never keep anything on the host machine at all.
I encrypted using LUKS Ext4 (xfs) and i can use it on user1 no issues but sometimes issues on user2 and sometimes not so im sure the GUI in mint is not quite good enough to deal with permissions or something due to it being glitchy and me unsure 100% what im doing so i tried from user1 to go into Terminal and type =
chmod -R 777 but i got nothing back and i was in sudo so then i typed in = cd / then repeated above chmod -R 777 and still nothing.
Basically i need a way to check said 1TB SSD permissions for disk and contents and a way to solve the issue or just re-do permissions without damage to existing 500g files on the said drive.
I am now also thinking that i need a different last number other than 7 as i no like everyone doing more than read yet not sure of number, i think maybe 5. hence 775 but idk for sure.
