mounted storage only has root access

[Magg06]

Hi,
I'm new to it not sure what I'm doing wrong.
At the moment I have 2 drives, one for storage and one parity, Will add one more to storage but need to copy files from it first.
I'm on Ubuntu and have mergerfs v2.40.2. I have the storage in /mnt/storage but it has only root access so I can't create any folders there if I don't do it from terminal with sudo. Do I need to change something in Ubuntu or I configured mergerfs incorrectly.

mergerfs is just a proxy for the already existing permissions. You simply need to change the mode and ownership appropriately.

"new" meaning you don't know how Linux/Unix works? You just use "chown" and "chmod".

I've tried chmod as that was what everyone was saying and it didn't do anything. Tried chown and managed to get it to work. Thank you. Yeah I know how it works a bit but didn't touch it in 10 years or so. Sorry for stupid questions, and thank you for help

Without you saying what the state of the file permissions are and what you are doing it's impossible to tell you what is wrong.

I manage to get it working, had to change ownership from root to my user. thanks again
