Thank you very much for all your time and effort to help me!

I will continue to find a solution for that problem.
In the meantime it would be fine, if the antix developer team could at least
give the Antix-Thunar the ability to open things as root.
As MX does

Check the /etc/fstab configuration for your hard-drive.

chown needs to be done to the mountpoint, not the dev path.

Again, mount the device with thunar and run

echo $(findmnt -n /dev/sdb1)

This will give all the configuration on how the device is mounted and to where.
If you only want the mountpoint:
findmnt -no TARGET /dev/sdb1

Then use chown on that mountpoint,

Hi,

I disconnected and did not read it in the evening (according to local time in the Czech Republic).
5) Full-path to the mount-point is anything (reasonable) you wish; I usually use ‘/data/’.
I.e. I create a new folder at the root-level.
This is not something that the program ‘lsblk’ outputs, this is something that you choose.

Hope that helps!

Not a fix but sometimes useful.

enter sudo thunar in console same goes for rox

be careful using file manager as root or su is very powerful, can quickly wreck your system.

Thank you again!
Now I can save pictures etc. from my external hard drive to this built-in DATA-drive
and leave the external drive at home 😉

Off course I would never use sudo thunar for my system hard drive.

Thank you for helping again!
I will try this in the evening.
German time, probably the same time zone as in the Czech Republic.
