For example do you Chown/Chmod the mount point or the drive itself? Do you unmount then mount during any of these process's? I am getting different versions of the steps. What happens if you Chown/Chmod the wrong spot, terminal seems ok with either place? Here are two that I have had most success with.
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /mnt/sdg1
sudo chown -R unity /mnt/sdg1
sudo chmod a+rwx /dev/sdg1
sudo chmod u=rwx,g=rwx,o= /dev/sdg1
I'm really mixed up where I should point these cmds, at the mount or at the device?
