how change drive ownership?

[davoto]

I'm about to create a new partition for a new ssd. Was wondering if I can change ownership during the partitioning process to myself instead of root only, or should I not do that? I gave myself permission for a single folder on the drive at least.

I don't think drive ownership is a thing, but you can give owenership to the place where you mount it.

Oh okay. Done and done. Thought it'd be more complicated than that. Just repeated what I did with that one folder, but the whole drive instead.

Drive ownership is possible, but is not widely available and would have to be done with a trusted platform kind of chip that would most likely password protect the drive being done at the bios level.

You can password protect, but more realistically encrypt partitions only after you create the thing which is probably the best solution requiring the equivalent of a password and technically give you ownership of said partition. This type of option (encryption) is available in Windows, Linux and BSD systems (believe MacOS too) and probably requires a bit of setup and reading prior developing familiarity with the process preventing bad things from happening.

sudo chown -R username:username /yourmounteddrivehere then right click the drive, go to properties, and make sure the file permissions are set correctly. drive ownership IS available and widely so. these people are ignorant to linux and have no idea.

That's not drive ownership, that's the mount directory ownership, just like any other directory ownership. (It's also about a mounted partition, not the drive.)
Which happens just to be what I said:

Please first read, than think, than rant - if appropriate and if it has to be done. Thanks.

sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www or sudo chown -R username:username /var/www

Actually, he's sorta correct. If you mount the partition and then change ownership or permissions on the mounted partition, you're setting it for the mounted partition, where if you change the settings for the mount folder before mounting anything to it, those permissions may be entirely different from those on the partition you mount there. Not everyone is entirely clear on the relation between partitions, drives, mounts, and permissions, so he could be forgiven for not being 100% exactly semantically correct on usage of one or more of those terms, but what he said about setting the permissions or ownership for the entire partition was not incorrect really.
