Read the man page for fstab.
man fstab
You should get the answer there.

I have a computer running Arch with the mate desktop.

it has a 2TB SSD and a 2TB HDD

the hdd i use to store any data.  Recently i had and issue with it.  this drive was formated using NTFS which I read sometimes can have issues with linux.

So last night i used gparted and repartitioned it using ext4.

Now the drive I can mount however when trying to copy data  to it it says i do not have permission to write data to this drive.

so how can i take ownership of this drive or change permissions so i can put data onto it?

I do not remember it being this difficult with mint.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rodney
