Followup: it's not quite what I thought Since the default nautilus
view doesn't show permissions and owners, I didn't realize the 12 GB
Volume was owned by root, which explains why Tbird can't write to it.
There's still a problem, though. Trying sudo chown -R me /media/data
said operation not permitted. It seems like root ought to be able to
give ownership to someone else? I unmounted it and then mounted it as
a user, which changed both owner and group to that user. Then, for
instance, Tbird could write to it without a problem. But having to
unmount and remount partitions just to make them accessible to the
logged in user seems less than ideal.
Maybe I have some mistake in my fstab?
