Salix OS

Hello again,

How do I change the ownership of a folder on an external hard drive. I forgot how to use the chown command, Can I rename the drive to something shorter than the long sequence of letters & Numbers. I know I'm lazy.

Thanks.

Do man chown in a Terminal to unforget how to use it.

You can use Gparted to Label a partition.

Took a while to relearn chown, used gparted to lable external, never had a label only a UUID.
