Howdy, Ive decided recently to plunge into the Manjaro OS and am loving it so far. Its the breath of fresh air that I needed from windows. With that being said, I am having trouble getting files onto some of my drives. I have 3 drives, on where I have the OS (ssd), one NVME m.2 drive, and a HDD. I …

Its entirely possible that I messed this up, however, it did not work :frowning:

Hi.

This will change the owner to your user, replace /mountpoint with the path to your mountpoint.

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /mountpoint

You should then be able to write to it.

If that doesn’t work then post the output of these commands:

lsblk -f
cat /etc/fstab
ls /etc/systemd/system
