I'd like to think I'm not a linux noob but I am having an issue I can't explain. I hope it something stupid. I have an external drive that I am trying to set up on plex. It was originally formatted ntfs but I shrunk the partition and made another ext4 partition. Plex can't look into the drive and see the folders. I have been trying to change the perms but they aren't sticking. They don't stick if
myUser@mint /media/myUser $ ls -lah
total 44K
drwxr-x---+ 6 root root 4.0K Oct 24 11:21 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Oct 24 10:50 ..
drwx------ 1 myUser myUser 20K Oct 14 07:27 DataDisk
myUser@myUserMint /media/myUser $ sudo chmod -R 766 DataDisk/
[sudo] password for myUser:
myUser@mint /media/myUser $ ls -lah
total 44K
drwxr-x---+ 6 root root 4.0K Oct 24 11:21 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Oct 24 10:50 ..
drwx------ 1 myUser myUser 20K Oct 14 07:27 DataDisk
myUser@mint /media/myUser $
Am I missing something obvious or is this just weird?
