Hi have come across an issue. My 2TB refuses to let me store things on it as it used to.
have tried sudo chown -HR bruce /mnt/wwn-0x50014ee25b773f61-part1, /mnt/wwn-0x50014ee25b773f61-part1 is the mount point.
i get operation not permitted
any suggestions please
P.S this has only happened in the last couple of days
this is my fstab
#/etc/fstab: static file system information.

# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may
# be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if
# disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

If you mean the escaped characters, itβs probably generated by a program like Gnome Disks, or KDE Partition Manager, to mask the spaces that are not allowed.
Use this to see the resulted line:
FAT32 does not support file ownership, that is why you are getting an error when you try to change it.
Based on certain evidence, I am guessing you do not historically mount your drives with the terminal. Since something changed recently as you mentioned, I wonder if you have seen this solution? Hard Drives No Longer Mounting On Startup - #8 by BluishHumility
That person also lost their Automount settings when they took the update to Plasma 5.25 (Iβm only guessing on your Plasma version, since no garuda-inxi).
