After mounting a NTFS or fat32 partition (not as readonly), I try to change it to my user permissions with
sudo chown user: file
However I am then told that the "Operation is not Permitted". I have read that could because of immutable set, When I try something like:
sudo chattr -i file
I am told "Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags file/
Does anyone have any other ideas to chown my drive?
