Obviously, I can't do anything with the great majority of the folders and files. But I could, if only I could do some chmod commands in the terminal. But I can't use the terminal, because it sees nothing. Catch-22.
"Sees nothing?"
Ascertain where those volume are mounted, first:
% df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on LABEL=Root10 35895684 15595092 20300592 44% / tmpfs 1036540 0 1036540 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda1 293008588 91058060 201950528 32% /repo /dev/sdb1 20962560 11337580 9624980 55% /root93 /dev/sdd1 11962304 6421116 5541188 54% /root91 /dev/sdd2 11961344 6690496 5270848 56% /home /dev/sdd3 11961344 1242680 10718664 11% /dar
(I chose "df" instead of the more obvious "mount" simply because the output is easier to read, in my opinion.)
Even better readability is provided by df -h (-h flag is for for "human readable"): $ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5 1012M 457M 504M 48% / udev 1013M 172K 1013M 1% /dev /dev/sda6 9.0G 4.8G 4.3G 53% /usr /dev/sda7 6.0G 1.2G 4.9G 19% /var /dev/sda8 10G 2.5G 7.6G 25% /opt /dev/sda11 64G 47G 17G 74% /home /dev/sda9 2.0G 749M 1.3G 37% /tmp /dev/sdb1 79G 21G 58G 26% /windows/c /dev/hda 132M 132M 0 100% /media/HP_50g $
Presumably you'll recognize which of the file system shown there are the two you're concerned with. You can then cd there, chmod or chown (-R) to your hearts content (after becoming root, of course).
