I recently decided to move from elementary 0.4 Loki (based on Ubuntu 16.04) to the latest version of Apricity (11.2016, based on Arch). I had backed up my data on an external HDD (ext4 file system). However, when I connect the drive under Apricity, I do not have any permission to access the drive. I cannot even read. It just tells me I'm not the owner and therefore can't access anything: When I previously did a complete reinstall of elementary OS, I didn't encounter this problem.Any ideas? Help will be greatly appreciated - I don't want to be stuck without my data... ;)
