Adding two New HDD's cant move files or save files

General system Newbie
1

Hi Friends,
I have just installed the Endeavor OS, then i added two new hard drives to my system.
After i booted up the system, the two new hdd pop up and i could open the files that was stored on the earlier.
So i tried to save a folder i had in Download folder in my /Home by move, later cp / past to one of those two hdd’s. i got the error in dolphin file manager and i got a error msg saying " Could not make folder /run/media/solidus/APPS/App’s/Programming/My VSCode Extensions." i tried to save the folder to the other Download HDD and got same result.
Then i thought maybe it should be something wrong and searched in /etc/fstab file
i dont see my two new HDD’s there.
so i ran the cmd:

sudo blkid
/dev/nvme0n1p3: LABEL="swap" UUID="102b5421-5cca-4dab-bcfa-2fea7c0711fd" TYPE="swap" PARTUUID="82cb510a-9c5e-2e4b-9f5e-a712aec02928"
/dev/nvme0n1p1: UUID="FA83-4FF7" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="6cf254fd-efdc-5e42-a708-acd3894730c8"
/dev/nvme0n1p2: UUID="b4a69df9-8cbf-4206-a787-26511ef8d0a4" UUID_SUB="04552efd-d05c-4fa5-8053-b3764f0a0003" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="btrfs" PARTLABEL="root" PARTUUID="e3b33a1a-99f3-314f-91db-ee53a889d409"
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="APPS" BLOCK_SIZE="512" UUID="C41E81831E816F6C" TYPE="ntfs" PARTUUID="6cd245e8-01"
/dev/sda1: LABEL="Download" BLOCK_SIZE="512" UUID="01D41C52BA241590" TYPE="ntfs" PARTUUID="1a801a81-01"

I dont know where to go from here, question nr1: how do i add this UUID to my fstab? and how should that like of text be like? noob friendly would be helpful.
Question nr2: am i thinking right? what am i supposed to do here? is it matter of R/W permission here?
please help.
Thank you for a awesome Operating System

If this is helpful for you to get a better understanding

You can read files on the drive, so I assume it’s mounted already. Have you tried changing the owner of the partition’s mount points?

If it’s mounted on /run/media/my_drive, then try:

sudo chown -v $USER:$USER /run/media/my_drive

Hi!
thank you for your reply!

Does this mean i can get a Malaysian citizenship and diplomatic passport? :rofl:

That’s the problem right there.

You can try remounting it with write permission:

sudo mount -o remount,rw '/path/to/mount/point'
8

What makes you say that? :grin:

[root@Core ~]# sudo mount -o remount,rw '/path/to/mount/point'
mount: /path/to/mount/point: mount point does not exist.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
mount: (hint) your fstab has been modified, but systemd still uses
       the old version; use 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload.

You have to change /path/to/mount/point to the actual mount point on your system.

11

Can you tell me how?

12

I love Malaysia, people with heart of gold.

13

Run lsblk and then identify the name of the partition that’s problematic. You can obtain the mountpoint under the MOUNTPOINTS column of the table returned by lsblk

14

Ah, so you’ve been here, then? When was the last time you were here? You visited KL, I presume?

15

No Sir, i have never been there, i would love to come there, buying a small office with few programmers start small and hopefully end somewhere further then the start line!

Hmm. That’s strange. Where are you your / and /home partitions?

18

So

sudo mount -o remount,rw '/path/to/mount/run/media/solidus/Download?
19

Right!?

Try

sudo mount -o remount,rw '/run/media/solidus/Download'
