When using Linux with external disks, sometimes you may find that you do not have permission to read the disk.
To gain permission to access a directory and its files, you can use the command
sudo chown -R username: file_path_of_directory
where username is your username, and file_path_of_directory is the file path of your directory at its mount point, usually something like /media/diskname (where diskname is the name or label of the disk).
