[SOLVED] USB drive mount with root as owner, cannot be used

[Nutul]

Hello @Nutul , thanks for your post,

As you wrote, it’s strange that I met this issue "suddenly". I don’t remember exactly when this occurred. It may be that I change my setup with this ntfs partition instead of a ext4. Indeed I made such a change a few weeks ago. I believe that I had moode working with the new ntfs partition before it stops working, but I cannot swear.

The last change was a Moode update 2 weeks ago. The issue seemed to occur after this update, but I have to admit it seems strange and I may be wrong,

Indeed you might have done something weird, although you don't remember.
I suggest you have the partion be Ext4, but as I understand you are mostly under Windows, so the other choice is to format you external HDD to ExFat, transfer back the whole music, and have moOde update its library again.

P.S.
Always, ALWAYS tell the whole story here, no matter if you think things are relevant or not. We are prone to get p****ed when after 10 posts we discover some important detail had been omitted... ;-)
