When we launch Dolphin, we see a pane on left side listing both mounted and unmounted partitions. If I click on any partition, I can view it but I do not get permission to write to that.
As a regular user who is the only user for this PC, how can I set it up so that it gets mounted on clicking with full permission?
Then you’ll have to give yourself ownership of the files on the ext partitions. The permissions of the mount point don’t factor into this. That’s just how Linux permissions work. The permissions are in the file system and not set during mount.
I have read just now that if I give myself ownership of a special file called ‘.’ (just the dot without quotation marks) in the partition I could achieve this. I seem to have succeeded for now in this. I will use it for sometime and see how it goes. This at least solves the problem of using a data partition for backup.

Wow… just.
Also, reads like an AI wrote it.
