Gparted hast nothing to do with this.

  • The owner of a file on a ext4 filesystem is set, when the file is created.
    So create any directory / file on it, then change the owner to yourself.

  • The owner of the “root=/” of your ext4 filesystem is the owner of its mountpoint
    So change the ownership of the mountpoint to yourself

There is a [HowTo] about this, but i did not find it yet. :man_shrugging:

maybe [root tip] [How To] Mount partition using fstab
