I installed Kubuntu onto an MSI gaming laptop. Which has two drives, 128GB SSD and 1TB HD. The OS and boot drive is on the SSD and works fine. I used KDE Partition Manager to format and mount the HDD with the ext4 filesystem at the mount point /home/joe/Data
and the partition is /dev/sdb1
. A lock symbol appears next to the mount point.
I can't write to or read from this drive. Properties show owner as root, but I have no way of accessing this. Is there an easy way to make this available as a read/write drive to store my data? The laptop is personal, so I have no fears of who gets access.
