I have some files on an external flash drive mounted at /media/usbdisk. All the files are owned by the root. I logged onto /media/usbdisk did "su" and then chown [user] *, only to get a notice for each file that the change of ownership is not allowed.
How do I change ownership of the files on that external drive?
