firstly, assumes have added partition /etc/fstab automatically mounted

multiple users need access drive?

if not, chowning drive user

code:

chown -r user:user /path/to/mountpoint

should it.

otherwise, can either

a) create group can write folder, , add user wants access drive group.

code:

chown -r root:group_name /path/to/mountpoint chmod -r 770 /path/to/mountpoint

b) chmod 777 - allow access it.
