    Another user suggests youruser:youruser and not usergroup, if usergroup would I just use the Owner group or?

    Thank you for your answer.

    Will try tomorrow when I get up.

    Would /dev/sda suffice as mounting point or?

    Haven't set any permissions outside standard given ones by usage.

    Thanks for answering.

  • Hello Linux Helpdesk. ;) I use Fedora (currently 40), and have done for a while. I always LUKS+Ext4 encrypt my local drive and decided to do the same to my external hard drive. Last week I reinstalled Fedora 40 from a Bootable USB, but when I tried to access my files om my external drive it now gives me the error *You do not have permission to view the content of "Files".* I've read online it's due to me no longer being the "Owner" of the drive I was in my previous install of Fedora and now I'm a different user and apparently no users a part from Owner have any permissions on an EXT4+LUKS drive. Is there any way to give myself permission to see the content again or did I bonk my backup? As a note, I DO have the correct Luks password, it shows me the name of the encrypted disk after decrypting, which is "Files" Thank you in advance. Edit: Thank you everybody, thanks to you I've been able to rescue my files. Y'all deserve a great day!
