How to change ownership for an external HDD?
- by Angstrem
I've got an external HDD (640 GB), with file system FAT32. I want to change the ownership of it from root (default) to angstrem (my username). The system is mounted to /media/exthdd. I try to do that by a command:
sudo chown -vR angstrem:angstrem /media/exthdd
and after that the system gives me an error:
chown: changing ownership of `/media/exthdd': Operation not permitted
If anybody knows, please tell me, how to change ownership of that HDD?
