Almalinux 9 - new partition created but root has ownership

plumbergplumberg Veteran, Megathread Squad
in General

I re-installed almalinux on a storage vps. I want to mount the disk as /data. I setup up the same via manual partitioning during the install. All good.

When I login my regular user, part of the wheel group cannot access that as it's owned by root.

What is the best way to manage this? Definitely I do not want to use sudo for doing a ls.

Thanks in advance!

    What is an issue with chown? Should work for ext4

    What are the current permissions for /data ?

    Can you show your fstab as well?

    You said in your opening post:

    Do you mean to say that as an ordinary user, ls /data doesn't work?

    Ls probably does. Need to write as well.

    Which makes sense, as root has read/write/execute, the group is root (with read/execute), and everyone has read/execute.

    If you want the wheel group to have read/write, then:

    chgrp wheel /data
chmod 775 /data

    Now your group will be able to write to it.

    Or just su to root and do whatever you want. The Internet police are not going to arrest you because you don't use sudo.
