Hi all. Hardware is a new WD Blue 2TB disk in a portable USB case. I have been trying to set it up using Systemd automount - following this guide [image] [root tip] [How To] systemd mount unit samples Tutorials Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆ Example mount units for syste…

Update. Its early days by my problem is Solved. I am now able to write to the USB hard drive as user. For example in Dolphin File Manager I can use the split window feature and drag files from “Home” to the drive. Previously this was halted with “Permission Denied”. I can attribute this to a coup…

Difficulty: ★★★☆☆ Note: This post is meant as a tutorial. Please do not post on this thread regarding any problems you’re having with permissions, but start a new thread instead. Thank you.
